This document summarizes key aspects of photosynthesis. It discusses that there are two types of organisms - autotrophs that get energy from sunlight and heterotrophs that get energy from food. It also describes ATP as a high-energy molecule used to store and transport energy in cells. The main ingredients for photosynthesis are outlined as water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, and chlorophyll, which is the green pigment found in chloroplasts. The overall equation for photosynthesis is provided. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy, which breaks apart water molecules to release oxygen and provides energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

1. Photosynthesis Michael Heberle Tech 110 October 15, 2008

2. Two Types of Organisms Autotrophs They get their energy from sunlight Heterotrophs They get energy from food, or other organisms

3. ATP Adenosine triphosphate High energy molecule Energy is released by breaking the third phosphate to create ADP. Can anyone draw it?

4. Here is what is Looks like!

5. Ingredients for Photosythesis Water Carbon Dioxide CO 2 Sunlight Energy

6. Equation of Photosynthesis 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2

7. What is a Pigment? A pigment is a substance that absorbs all wavelengths of light but one. The pigment is called Chlorophyll (not borophyll)

8. Where is the Chlorophyll? Chlorophyll is found in Chloroplast

9. Energy in Photosynthesis Light energy hits the chloroplast Light energy is converted to Chemical energy This energy is able to break a water molecule and gives off O 2 - This takes place in the Thylakoid.

12. Assignment On the back of your paper you need to do one of the following Light dependent reaction Calvin Cycle Electron Transport Chain You MUST include three different colors to get credit. Due at end of period!
