main source of energy for all life…
the sun
kinetic energy…
energy in motion
potential energy…
stored energy-not moving
the higher something is…
the more energy its storing
almost all plants are
photosynthetic
generates its own matter
phototrophs and autotrophs
sunlight is energy stored as…
chemical bonds
what percent of photosynthesis takes place in the leaves
90-95%
xanthophyll
yellow pigment
carotene
orange pigment
chlorophyll
green pigment
element compound
6 CO2 + 6 H2O, light energy, C6H12O6 + 6 O2
light reaction
H2O + light energy ——>O2
calvin cycle
CO2 ——> glucose
chloroplast contains
stroma, a fluid, and grana
carbon fixation
calvin cycle “fixes” carbon dioxide into glucose
NADPH & ATP from light reaction provide…
hydrogen and energy to power dark reaction
(temp) photosynthesis best occurs at
35 degrees celcius
(light intensity) photosynthesis best occurs at
1/3 summer sunlight
some leaves are shaded, so photosynthesis works best for whole plant at
more than 1/3 sunlight
