2. Standards
7 1.d. students know that mitochondria liberate energy
from the work that cells do and that chloroplast
capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
1.f. students know usable energy is captured from
sunlight by chloroplast and is stored through the
synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide.
3. What is photosynthesis?
Is the process by
which plants and some
other organisms use
light energy to convert
water and carbon
dioxide into oxygen
and high energy carbon
hydrates such as
sugars and scratches
4. Mitochondria
Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored
in food into compounds that are more convenient for
the cell to use
they have two organelles the names are
- outer membrane
- inner membrane
The mitochondria is an organel found in large numbers
of most cells
6. Where does photosynthesis takes
places?
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast and in
the chlorophyII
ChlorophyII is what gives the leafs the color they are
Also photosynthesis has 2 parts to it:
-- light dependent reaction
-- light independent reactions
7. Light dependent reaction
Chloroplast are organelle that convert light to energy.
The light-dependent reactions take place in the inside a
chloroplast.
8. Light independent reaction
The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are
chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and
other compounds into glucose. The energy released
from ATP drives this metabolic pathway. It is described
to be light-independent as it proceeds regardless of the
amount of light available. The term is used in contrast
to light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis.
9. What is photosynthesis important to
plants, humans, and animals?
First of all plants are important to the life because that’s
some where animals and humans get oxygen from.
Photosynthesis is the one that give plants with food and
energy. Animals are the ones that eat the plant. For
humans we breathe in oxygen and we exhale carbon
dioxide.
10. The formula of photosynthesis….
The formula is :
6CO +6H O 2 2
C H O +60
6 12 6 2
