DESCRIPTION
PHOTOSYNTHESIS. What is the purpose of photosynthesis? To make: GLUCOSE (food). Carbon + Hydrogen + Oxygen. What make their own food? AUTOTROPHS (PRODUCERS) Example: Plants. What have to obtain their food? HETEROTROPHS (CONSUMERS) - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
PHOTOSYNTHESISWhat is the purpose of photosynthesis?
To make:GLUCOSE (food)
Carbon + Hydrogen + Oxygen
What make their own food?AUTOTROPHS (PRODUCERS)
Example: Plants
What have to obtain their food?HETEROTROPHS (CONSUMERS)
Examples: Mushrooms, cows, bacteria, humans, fish, birds
How is energy released from ATP? Phosphate Bond Breaks
Where is the bond broken to release energy:
At the bond between 2nd & 3rd
Phosphates
ATP contains energy like a battery
ADP + P (Uncharged Battery) ATP (Charged Battery)
Why is green light not good for photosynthesis?
Green is not absorbedIt is reflected by the green
chlorophyll (pigment/protein)
Absorbed light is useable light!
What are pigments?Pigments are proteins!
What do pigments do?Pigments absorb light!
What makes plants green?CHLOROPHYLL (Pigment)
What 3 things do I need to make my flower grow which are the same 3 things (reactants) needed for photosynthesis?
• Sunlight• H₂O• CO₂
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
REACTANTS → PRODUCTS
Van HelmontCO2 + H₂O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2
Van Helmont’s experiment concluded that the plant must have gotten its additional mass from H2O since that was
all that the plant received.
Priestly(Think: Priests put candles in churches)
Priestly found the plant released OXYGEN from his experiment keeping mouse and flame alive.
CO2 + H2O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O₂
Ingenhouz (Think: “Lighthouse”)
Ingenhouz repeated Priestly’s experiment but tried it with and without sunlight to see if that was necessary. He found sunlight was an important part of photosynthesis.
CO2 + H2O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2
Calvin
Calvin came up with the Calvin Cycle and showed how plants take ATP and NADPH to change CO2 →C2H12O6 (glucose)
CO2 + H2O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2

Light blows up H₂O into H⁺ and е⁻ to help make NADPH & ATP:
energy that fuels the Calvin Cycle
