STANDARD: 1d Students Know That Chloroplasts Capture Sunlight Energy For Photosynthesis

Chloroplasts in plant leaves capture sunlight during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. Chlorophyll in the chloroplasts absorbs sunlight which powers the reaction that converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Photosynthesis

STANDARD: 1d Students know that


chloroplasts capture sunlight energy for
photosynthesis
Photosynthesis

Where does the energy come from that sustains all life?

The Sun!!
I. Photosynthesis
A. Using sunlight to make glucose (sugar)
B. Happens in the chloroplast

CHLOROPLAST
Chlorophyll
C. Water, carbon dioxide and sunlight enter
1. Chlorophyll (green pigment) captures the sunlight
2. CO2 enters through the stomata
(openings in the leaf)

3. water enters through the roots


D. Glucose and oxygen are produced
1. Glucose is the plant’s food
2. O2 is released through the
stomata since it is not needed.
E. Equation for photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight  C6H12O6 + 6O2


.
Tracking Atoms in Photosynthesis…

Reactants 6 CO2 6 H2O

Products C6H12O6 6O2
