Title Box 1: What is ATP?

ATP= adenosine triphosphate Chemical compound that stores energy

3 parts: ▪Adenine ▪Ribose (sugar) ▪3 phosphate groups

Title Box 2: What happens during photosynthesis?

Process where autotrophs uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrate (glucose)

Title Box 3: What is the photosynthesis equation?

Chemical Equation: 6CO2+ 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2

Word Equation Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose

+ OxygenREACTANTS PRODUCTS

Title Box 4: Where does photosynthesis occur?

Inside of the chloroplast Thylakoids = light dependent

reaction, which uses sunlight to break O2

Stroma – dark reaction (Calvin cycle), which makes glucose

Title Box 5: What factors affect photohsynthesis?

Water = needed to start the light-dependent reaction

Temperature – proteins work best at certain temperature; too hot or cold affects the enzyme

Light Intensity = need solar energy to fuel the process

Title Box 6: Summary

Answer the following 2 questions: Use 2 complete sentences for each

question; number and highlight the periods.

What was the big idea of today’s lesson?

How does this process connect with autotrophs?
