events, or intermediate molecules produced during these processes.

Photosynthesis – Who Does It?
• Song
Autotrophs
• plants
• protists*
• bacteria*
Heterotrophs (consumer)
• get their energy from “eating others”
• consumers of other organisms
• consume organic molecules
Autotrophs
• get their energy from “self”
• get their energy from sunlight
• use light energy to synthesize organic molecules
Photosynthesis Foldable
We’ll add the cellular respiration later…
Photosynthesis – Where Does it Happen?
Obtaining raw materials:
Sunlight: leaves (solar collectors)
CO2: stoma = gas exchange
H2O: uptake from roots
Nutrients: uptake from roots
An Overview of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic
organisms use light energy to make sugar and
oxygen gas from carbon dioxide and water

The Process of Photosynthesis
Two Primary Reactions
Photosynthesis: Let's Get Into This
Two Parts of Photosynthesis
1.Light Reaction or Light Dependent Reaction
Produces energy from solar power
(photons) in the form of ATP and
NADPH (e- carriers)
Uses solar energy to ‘charge’
up for 2nd reaction
Photosynthesis (TMBG)
Two Parts of Photosynthesis
2. Light Independent Reaction (aka the
Dark Rxn or the Calvin Cycle)
Also called Carbon Fixation or C3
Fixation
Uses energy (ATP and NADPH) from
light reaction to make sugar (glucose).
Takes the energy created in the
light reactions to make sugar
An Overview of Photosynthesis
The light reactions
convert solar energy to
chemical energy
Light
Chloroplast
– Produce ATP & NADPH
The light ind. makes sugar
from carbon dioxide
– ATP generated by the light
reactions provides the energy for
sugar synthesis
– The NADPH produced by the
light reactions provides the
electrons for the reduction of
carbon dioxide to glucose

3D Photosynthesis Model
Photosynthesis Equation
Photosynthesis
6CO2 +6H20 + light  C6H1206 + 6O2
Reduction of carbon dioxide into carbohydrate via the
oxidation of energy carriers (ATP, NADPH)
Light reactions energize the carriers
“Dark” reactions (Calvin Cycle) produce PGAL
(phosphoglyceraldehyde) or G3P – all versions of sugar
Photosynthesis Formula Game
A Look at Light
When light strikes a leaf…
It can be
– Absorbed
– Reflected or bounced
back
– Transmitted or
passed through
Plants are green because they absorb light wavelengths in red
& blue and reflect green back out

How Does Photosynthesis Relate
to Cellular Repiration?
Heterotrophs
making energy & organic molecules from ingesting organic molecules
glucose + oxygen  carbon + water + energy
dioxide
C6H12O6 +
6O2
 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Autotrophs
making energy & organic molecules from light energy
carbon
dioxide
+ water + energy  glucose + oxygen
6CO2 + 6H2O + light  C6H12O6 + 6O2

How Does Photosynthesis Relate
to Cellular Respiration?
At the base of every food chain

C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Respiration
Two Types of Respiration
1. Cellular Respiration – (aerobic)
•
-requires O2 and sugar is
completely broken down into
CO2 ATP, and H2O
2. Fermentation – (anaerobic)
•
-No O2 is present and sugar is
broken down into lactic acid
Aerobic Cellular Respiration
To produce ATP - 3 main reactions
I.
Glycolysis - occurs in cytoplasm
•
•
Starts with sugar (glucose) C6H12O6
Enzyme reacts with the sugar breaking it
down into pyruvate (taken to next step)
2 ATP molecules produced
•
Aerobic Cellular Respiration
To produce ATP - 3 main reactions
II. Krebs Cycle - occurs in mitochondria
•
•
•
•
•
Starts with pyruvate (which has been modified)*
Enzymes break it down through a cycle – repeats twice
(2 molecules produced in glycolysis)
Carbon ‘spun off’ as a by product (as CO2)
Lots of H+ ions produced (charged)
2 ATP molecules produced
Aerobic Cellular Respiration
To produce ATP - 3 main reactions
III. Electron Transport Chain - in the mitochondria
•
•
•
•
The hydrogen from the first 2 reactions is brought
here by electron carriers (NAD and FADs)
A gradient is created by the proteins in the membrane
which drives the pump (ATP synthase)
Oxygen (final electron acceptor) bonds with H+ to
form water
32 ATP produced!
