Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. This glucose can be converted into pyruvate which releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. Oxygen is also formed.
This animation series contains seven parts. Read the questions below for each part before watching it. After watching each part, answer the questions in the spaces provided. After completing all seven parts of the animation, answer the summary questions in Part 8. QUESTIONS.
Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight energy is used to make glucose. The site of photosynthesis is in the chloroplast – an organelle found in the leaves of green plants. The main functions of chloroplasts are to produce food (glucose) during photosynthesis, and to store food energy. Chloroplasts contain the pigment, chlorophyll ...
PHOTOSYNTHESIS: • converts light energy to the chemical energy of food 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy C6H12O6 + 6O2. Happens in all green parts of plants but leaves = major site ~ about half a million chloroplasts/mm2 of leaf surface. Color of leaf due to green pigment chlorophyll.
Here's a brief overview of the steps involved in photosynthesis to help you quickly grasp how the process works. Light is absorbed by chlorophyll, a ferment contained in leaves. Light energy is converted into chemical energy: light energy is used to split a water molecule. The reaction releases chemical energy.
23 sty 2019 · Summarize the overall purpose of photosynthesis, as well as its inputs and outputs. Describe the structures used to perform photosynthesis in plants. Describe the main components of the light reactions and Calvin cycle, and how they contribute to photosynthesis.
