PHOTOSYNTHESIS Photosynthesis What we know - Producers are organisms that produce their own food. Green plants are producers – they convert sunlight into energy (food). Autotrophs: self-producers. Radiant Energy Photosynthesis What we are learning today- Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction, where radiant energy from the sun reacts with water and carbon dioxide to form chemical energy. Radiant Energy is required for the chemical process to take place. Carbon dioxide and water are the “ingredients” for photosynthesis, and sugar (glucose) is formed, along with oxygen. The plants use these products (glucose and Oxygen) to produce food and energy or will store them for later use. Photosynthesis A process that requires carbon dioxide (CO2) and uses Radiant (Light) energy and water (H2O) to produce organic (glucose) and oxygen (O2). 6CO2 + 6H2O + Radiant Energy?C6H12O6 + 6O2 Where does this all happen? To answer this first you must think Which part of the plant is usually green? How does Carbon dioxide and water get into that plant part? How does Radiant energy get captured? Plants Autotrophs: self-producers. Location: 1. Leaves a. stoma b. guard cells Stoma Stoma in a?tomato?leaf shown via colorized?scanning electron microscope?image Stomata (stoma) Pores in a plant’s cuticle through which water and gases are exchanged between the plant and the atmosphere. How do Stoma work? A. When guard cells are full of water they expand which cause the stoma to open B. When guard cells do not have water they shrink and the stoma is closed An open stoma (a) and a closed stoma (b)1. Not needed ?2 ? 3 5 6 2?Guard cell 3 Stoma 5 Water 6?Vacuole Quick Quiz!
