PPT-Photosynthesis Obtaining Energy

Photosynthesis converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds through a series of reactions known as biochemical pathways Autotrophs use energy from sunlight or from chemical bonds in inorganic substances to make organic compounds . *. Photosynthesis. – process of capturing light . . energy. from the sun to convert water & CO. 2. . . into oxygen and high energy carbohydrates . (food, ex: glucose, starch, & other sugars). Bryanna Wolfe. ECE 2320. October 2012. Start Here. Objective:. . When you get hungry you might decide to raid the cookie jar or ask your mom to make you a sandwich. You do this because humans and animals get energy from the foods they eat. Warm up (11-23-15). Explain what you know about plants.. Try to be specific and use scientific terms if possible.. Outline. Objectives. Plant Background Info. Objectives. To gain background information about plants and how they colonized land. Unit 3 . Think back to Energy Transfer…. Living things use energy for . Growth. Repair. Reproduction. Metabolism. The collection of reactions that occur in a cell . Metabolism. Involves either:. . Lauren . Kendle. Winter Ecology. Spring 2012. Background Information. An analysis of 60 species indicated that there were photosynthetic processes in the . bark. Aspen Trees had the highest level of bark chlorophyll . Leaf Disc Assay. A Block. Spinach (Control).

By: Annette Miles. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants turn energy from the ____ into _______ or _______________. . sun. glucose. carbohydrates. First, _______________ strikes the leaf, passes into the leaf, and hits a ______________ inside an individual cell. . Photosynthesis . process used by plants using light energy to create sugar (glucose, C. 6. H. 12. O. 6. ) from carbon dioxide (CO. 2. ) and water (H. 2. O). oxygen gas (. O. 2. ) is produced as a waste product and the light energy used is stored as chemical energy. Chapter . 10. : Photosynthesis. From Topic . 2.9. Essential idea: . Photosynthesis uses the energy in sunlight to produce the chemical energy needed for life. .. Nature of science: . Experimental design—controlling relevant variables in photosynthesis experiments is essential (3.1).. 8-1: Energy & Life. What is energy?. The ability to do work.. What is the difference between autotrophs & heterotrophs?. . Autotrophs = make their own food. . Heterotrophs = can’t make their own food; must eat other organisms. Refer to . pg. . 83-92 . in .

Where does the biomass of a tree primarily come from?. Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis. is the process by which plants, some . bacteria use . the energy from sunlight to produce sugar and starches ……which . cellular respiration. converts into . ATP. Photosynthesis. - a process used by plants and other autotrophs to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism’s activities. . *It is the way plants make food! . The light-dependent reaction. The light-independent reaction. Required practical 7: . Use of chromatography to investigate the pigments isolated from leaves of different plants, . eg. , leaves from shade-tolerant and shade-intolerant plants or leaves of different colours..
