PPT-Pond plant race – Light levels and Photosynthesis

Click here to watch a short film introduction to ponds Ponds are often surrounded by plant life and have green algae lilies and pondweed growing in them Scientists who study the relationship between living things Ecologists often need to know why one type of plant lives in one place and another in a different place. Photosynthesis. OB48. Describe, using a word equation, how plants make their own food through photosynthesis.  . OB49. Show that starch is produced by a photosynthesising plant.  . OB50. Investigate the growth response of plants to . 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. 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. . 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. 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 . Inv. 5 . in . Lab Manual. Try This!. Where does the biomass of a tree primarily come from?. 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! . 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. Chemical Energy and ATP. Energy is the ability to do work.. Your cells are busy using energy to build new molecules, contract muscles, and carry out active transport.. Without the ability to obtain and use energy, life would cease to exist.. Cellular Respiration:. During the respiration reaction glucose bonds are broken and the carbon is released to form CO2. . (Use the NAMES of the molecules) According to your equation, the process of cellular respiration uses ____________________ and ___________________ to produce ________________________, ___________________ and release ____________________.. Mohan Tarp supplies Suncool branded geomembrane woven and non-woven pond liners in eastern India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Andaman Nicobar Island. These geomembrane pond lining films is manufactured with the latest multi-layer co-extrusion blown film technique which makes them more resistant. It comes with a zero leakage guarantee and high mechanical resistance to tear and puncture. It is an outstanding option for lining ponds, canals, reservoirs, fish-farming ponds, water storage, irrigation pond, industry effluents treatment tanks, etc. Photosynthesis . Revision:. Answer these questions on photosynthesis from N5?. What is the photosynthesis word equation?. How many stages are there to photosynthesis?. Give 2 examples of the uses of the product of photosynthesis?. Using plastic pond lining films in fish farming offers several benefits, including water retention, ease of maintenance, and improved water quality control. While liners are primarily used to hold water, they also offer other benefits.
