Light gives Life Flashcards
the process that uses the sun’s energy to make simple sugars
photosynthesis
photo means?
light
organisms use _____ to make sugar and
oxygen gas from carbon dioxide and water
light energy
synthesis means?
putting together or manufactured
Photosynthesis is the process by which
autotrophic
autotrophs (producers)
plants
heterotrophs(consumers)
animals
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
Photosynthesis
2 separate processesENERGY building reactions
ENERGY building reactions
SUGAR building reactions
collect sun energy
use it to make ATP
ENERGY building reactions
take the ATP energy
collect CO2 from air & H2O from ground
use all to build sugars
SUGAR building reactions
The “factory” for making
energy & sugars
- chloroplast
Found at the underside of the leaf
stomata
allow raw material and waste product
stomata
specialized for photosynthesis
chloroplast
surrounding the liquid
stroma
inner membrane
granum
flattened sacs
thylakoid
root system and its network of conducting cells
xylem vessels
convert light
energy into chemical energy (ATP).
light-dependent reactions
Photosynthesis happens in two phases.
-light-dependent reactions
-Calvin Cycle or light-independent
reactions
produce simple sugars.
Calvin Cycle or light-independent
reactions
The Calvin Cycle occurs in the
stroma of
chloroplasts.
