- 2. Overview of photosynthesis and respiration PHOTOSYNTHESIS CELL ACTIVITIES RESPIRATION SUN RADIANT ENERGY GLUCOSE ATP(ENERGY)
- 3. •Organisms that use light energy from the sun to produce food—autotrophs (auto = self) Ex: plants and some microorganisms (some bacteria and protists)
- 4. •Organisms that CANNOT use the sun’s energy to make food—heterotrophs Ex: animals and most microorganisms
- 5. Photosynthesis: •Photosynthesis is the process by which the energy of sunlight is converted into the energy of glucose
- 6. What is Photosynthesis? The process of photosynthesis is a chemical reaction. It is the most important chemical reaction on our planet.
- 7. What is the Equation for the Chemical Reaction of Photosynthesis?
- 8. What is the equation for the chemical reaction of photosynthesis?
- 9. EQUATION FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY C6H12O6 + 6O2 CARBON DIOXIDE WATER GLUCOSE OXYGEN
- 11. Describe Photosynthesis • The process of changing light energy to chemical energy • Energy stored as sugar • Occurs in plants and some algae • Plants need light energy, CO2, and H2O • Takes place in the chloroplasts, using chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants
- 12. •Chlorophyll is the pigment inside the chloroplast that absorbs light for photosynthesis As the chlorophyll in leaves decays in the autumn, the green color fades and is replaced by the oranges and reds of carotenoids, other pigments.
- 14. What happens during photosynthesis? • Plants capture light energy and use that energy to make glucose • Sunlight provides the energy needed by chlorophyll to change molecules of carbon dioxide and water into glucose • Oxygen is also released in this reaction
- 15. What happens during photosynthesis? • Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through holes called stomata • CO2 combines with the stored energy in the chloroplasts through a chemical reaction to make glucose
- 16. •Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plants
- 17. What happens during photosynthesis? • The sugar is moved through tubes in the leaf to the roots, stems and fruits of the plants • Some of the sugar is used right away by the plant for energy; some is stored as starch; and some is built into plant tissue
- 18. Why is this important to us?
- 19. Why is this important to us? We cannot make our own food (glucose, energy), we must get our food from plants. Plants are the first step in the food chain.
- 20. Why is this important to us? The oxygen released during photosynthesis is necessary for all living things.
- 21. What is Cellular Respiration?
- 22. What is Cellular Respiration? The release of chemical energy for use by cells.
- 23. What is Cellular Respiration? Once the energy that was in sunlight is changed into chemical energy by photosynthesis, an organism has to transform the chemical energy into a a form that can be used by the organism. This process is cellular respiration.
- 24. Cellular Respiration: Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy of glucose is released in the cell to be used for life processes (movement, breathing, blood circulation, etc…)
- 25. •Respiration occurs in ALL cells and can take place either with or without oxygen present.
- 27. Describe Cellular Respiration • The breakdown of glucose molecules to release energy • Turns glucose into ATP • Takes place in all living things • Is a step by step process
- 28. What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
- 29. EQUATION FOR RESPIRATION C6H12O6 + GLUCOSE 6O2 OXYGEN 6CO2 + CARBON DIOXIDE 6H2O + ENERGY WATER ATP
