PPT-Photosynthesis: the Calvin Cycle

Light Independent Reactions Can occur in the absence of light Energy that was stored in ATP and NADPH during the light reactions is used to produce organic compounds in the form of sugars Carbon fixation.

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). . Part II of Photosynthesis. Calvin . Named after American biochemist Melvin Calvin. Most commonly used pathway by most plants. Calvin cycle is used by plants that are called C3 because of the 3-Carbon molecules that are made. Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis. Light driven transfer of electron across a membrane. Results in a proton gradient which drives the bonding of ADP and Pi to form ATP. Important in the production of Oxygen and the generation of carbon compounds that make aerobic metabolism possible. 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. Photosynthesis. . Process. = plant cells use light energy to rearrange water and carbon dioxide molecules into sugar . molecules. Oxygen is a by-product (leftover, waste product). Energy now stored in the sugar. Energy & Life. 2. Photosynthesis. Plants use the Energy of sunlight to . convert . Water (H. 2. 0). and . Carbon Dioxide (CO. 2. ). into . Oxygen (O. 2. ). and . High Energy Carbohydrates. (sugars, e.g. Glucose) & Starches. 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. . Mr. Stahl. Biology. Review of ATP- Section 4.1. Molecule. . T. ype. Energy.

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. Happens in the CHLOROPLAST. Using the chemical - Chloroplast. Only need to learn terms . Thylakoid. Granum. Thylakoid. Little . sacklike. things. Hold the chlorophyll. Like little solar panels. The stacks of Thylakoids are Granum/grana. SWBAT Describe the process of photosynthesis. Bellringer. What are the products and reactants of photosynthesis?. Adenine. Ribose. 3 Phosphate groups.

CO. 2. is attached to 5-carbon RuBP molecule. Result in a 6-carbon molecule. This splits into two 3-carbon molecules (3PG).
