What are the things that you cannot live without?

“other feeder” Has to consume other organisms to get energy

“other feeder” Has to consume other organisms to get energy

Autotroph“self-feeder” Has the ability to make its own fuel to get

energy

Conservation of EnergyEnergy cannot be created or destroyed, it can

only be converted to a different form.

What does this mean for plants?

Conservation of EnergyEnergy cannot be created or destroyed, it can

only be converted to a different form.

What does this mean for plants?Plants cannot just create their own energy

from nothing

Plants get their energy from the Sun

Plants cannot just use light energy directly,

they have to convert it to a usable form first!

PHOTOSYNTHESIS!

Photosynthesis Equation

Carbon Dioxide + Water => Sugar + Oxygen

CO2 + H2O => CH2O + O2

Photosynthesis Equation

Carbon Dioxide+Water=>Sugar+Oxygen

CO2 + H2O => CH2O + O2

Don’t be scared! We will be going over this in more detail later

This would be a slide with the plant leaf and chloroplast diagrams from their textbook

Plant Parts SummaryStomata are pores in the leaf that regulate

CO2 intake and O2 outputMesophyll Cells are cells at center of leaf cell

layers which contain chloroplastsA Chloroplast is the organelle where

photosynthesis takes place! Thylakoid = chlorophyll is located in the thylakoid

membrane Granum (plural: grana) = stack of thylakoids Stroma = area outside grana where complex sugars

are created

PigmentsChlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs

sunlight and incorporates the energy into the process of photosynthesis

Chlorophyll is not the only pigment that exists in a leafWhat happens to the leaves in fall?
