PPT-Photosynthesis

By Ms Megan Black Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process of making food by plants The essential ingredients in making this food are sunlight the chlorophyll that is present in green plants water and carbon dioxide in the air . *. 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). Autotrophs. :. Organisms that are capable of producing/creating their own food. Photoautotrophs. – sunlight drives the energy production process. Chemoautotrophs. – can extract energy from an inorganic substance. Define Photosynthesis. The process by which plants manufacture (make) carbohydrates from raw materials using energy from the light.. Word and Chemical equation of Photosynthesis. 6CO. 2. + 6H. 2. O . Energy . and Life. Plants and some other types of organisms are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food.. Autotrophs. : organisms such as plants, which make their own food. Heterotrophs. 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. 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 . Why Study Photosynthesis?. *All food webs start with photosynthesis!*. Photosynthesis is arguably the most important biological process on earth because of two key chemical reactions. Liberating oxygen:. Ms. . Albu. B Block. Photosynthesis Lab Findings. We tested the photosynthetic rate of leaf discs of spinach (control) to arugula (experimental) under a 100 watt lamp. Spinach had a higher rate of photosynthesis. And Respiration of Plants. 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. . 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. . What is the . ideal combination of factors . for the . maximum . rate of photosynthesis? . enough light. . enough carbon dioxide. . ideal temperature . (not too hot or cold). How is the rate affected if one of these factors is . Refer to . pg. . 83-92 . in . Holtzclaw. , . Ch. 10 in Campbell and media resources. . Refer . to . pg. . 297. -299 . in . Holtzclaw. , Lab .
