Photosynthesis
• The process of converting solar energy to chemical energy in form of organic compounds.
• Organic compounds include sugars, lipids, and proteins.

1.Chlorophyll traps light causing Water
to split into H and O
H2O H2 + O
2. Oxygen (waste) exits through stomata
Hydrogen = used for next part
H2O H2 + O
Oxygen (air)
3.CO2 and H combine
to form glucose
CO2+ H
Glucose (C6H12O6
)

Why Is the Sunlight important?Why Is the Sunlight important?
Sunlight or White light
Sunlight or white light is actually a combination of all the colors of the rainbow:
Blue, indigo, violet, green, yellow, orange, and red.
Plants appear green because they absorb all the colors except green, which is reflected .
It is the energy from light that energizes electrons which start the process of
photosynthesis.

VASCULAR TISSUE/BUNDLE
the root is the organ of a plant body that typically lies below the surface of the soilThe two major functions of roots are
ROOTS
1.) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients 2.) anchoring the
plant body to the ground
STOMATASTOMATA (stomate;
singular) is a pore found in the leaf
and stem epidermis that is
used for gas exchange
Guard cellsGuard cells are responsible for
regulating the size of this opening
Guard cells and HomeostasisGuard cells and Homeostasis
• Guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata.
• This allows the leaf to control water loss (transpiration).
• They allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to be released.
Guard Cell
Stomata
is the evaporation of water from plants that occurs at the leaves while their stomata are open (for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis)
TranspirationTranspiration
Why are most plants green?The leaf and chloroplasts
• The organelle chloroplast contains the pigment chlorophyll which absorbs every color except green which is reflected.

• On land or under water, the process of photosynthesis is still the same: energy + carbon dioxide produces sugar and oxygen.
• The producers are algae and phytoplankton.

• The producers are algae and phytoplankton.
Phytoplankton: producers in the oceans
Phytoplankton: producers in the oceans
Located just beneath the water’s surface
These producers form the foundation for marine food webs
What role does chloroplast and chlorophyll play in the process?
Chloroplast is the organelle inside the plant cell that photosynthesis takes place.
Chlorophyll is the pigment that attracts light to start the process.
