Energy for Life
Where do you think all organisms on Earth get their
energy?
Do different organisms get energy from different places or
do all organisms get energy from the same place?
Brainstorm at your table.
Slide 5 / 44
Energy for Life
All organisms get their energy from the sun!
How is this possible though? Isn't this giraffe getting its energy from the tree he is
eating?
Brainstorm at your table.
Slide 6 / 44
The sun's energy cannot be used by cells without some help.
Photosynthesis is the process that
makes the energy of sunlight usable for
all living things.

Chemicals involved in Photosynthesis
Slide 11 / 44
Water: H2O
Carbon Dioxide: CO2
Oxygen: O2
Glucose: C6H12O6
Glucose is sugar, a complex carbohydrate containing carbon. The individual molecules of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are joined together to make this molecule.

Plant Cell Review
In the last chapter, we learned about cells and organelles.
At your table, think back and come up with a list of some cell
characteristics and organelles which are specific to plants alone.
Be ready to give an example to the class!
Slide 14 / 44
The pigment chlorophyll, which makes leaves green and is found inside the chloroplasts, collects
the energy of sunlight.
The roots collect water and the stomata of the leaves collect
CO2. These two materials are called the reactants.
Reactants for PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis occurs mainly in the leaves of plants and in the
chloroplasts.

Slide 17 (Answer) / 44
Step 1: Collection of raw materials (sunlight energy, water, carbon dioxide). Step 1 is called the light dependent reactions.
Step 2: Processing of the raw materials to form glucose and oxygen. This step is called the Calvin Cycle, which is also known as the light independent or dark reactions.
Photosynthesis is a multi-step process
Slide 18 / 44
The Calvin Cycle occurs when the molecules of carbon dioxide and water are taken apart, rearranged and recombined using the energy in sunlight to make glucose and oxygen.
The Calvin Cycle
The Calvin Cycle is named for Melvin Calvin, who in 1937 alongside his colleagues at the University of California, discovered the process.

The process can be simplified into the following equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O2 + 6O2sunlight
The equation above contains 6 carbon molecules, 12 hydrogen molecules, and 18 molecules in both the reactants and products.
They have just been regrouped into different compounds.

Slide 25 (Answer) / 44
The process of Photosynthesis has stored the energy of sunlight for later use!
Overall Idea: Photosynthesis
Glucose is used by the cell immediately or stored for growth or later use. The oxygen is released as a waste product, it leaves
through the stomata.
This is good news because humans and many other animals rely on this oxygen!

Slide 28 / 44
Photosynthesis and respiration have a special relationship.
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
In animals, breathing is also known as respiration. Our cells also need to breathe. What do you think the relationship
between photosynthesis and respiration is?
Slide 29 / 44
Human and other animals do not photosynthesize. Instead, our cells perform a process called Cellular Respiration
This happens in the mitochondria and the
cytoplasm.
Cellular Respiration
Slide 30 / 44
In photosynthesis, plants take in water and carbon dioxide and produce glucose and oxygen.
Photosynthesis vs. Cellular Respiration
Glucose (food)
Oxygen
In order for cellular respiration to occur, cells need to take in this
glucose (sugar), which is collected through food.
The cells also need this oxygen, which is collected by lungs, gills, or
other similar structures.
Slide 31 / 44
Cellular Respiration
In this process, our cells also release energy. This
means that cellular respiration is an
exothermic reaction.

This equation has 18 molecules of oxygen, 12 molecules of hydrogen and 6 molecules of carbon on both sides of the equation.
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the source of power in the cell.

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Relationship
These two processes are opposites.
The products of one are the raw materials of the other.
Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are then used by Cellular Respiration to release energy, carbon
dioxide and water.
