Photosyntesis
What is photosynthesis?
The ability to use light to convert inorganic molecules into organicmolecules.
H2O + CO2 ==== light == sugar + O2
Sugar can then be used to make other required molecules, or it can be
Broken down as a source of energy… O2 is simply a biproduct of photo-
Synthesis… almost all the O2 in the earth’s atmosphere comes from phot
Synthesis.

Photosyntesis
Leaves and Chloroplasts are adaptations for photosynthesis.

Photosyntesis – light and dark reactions
Photosynthesis has two phases:
A light dependent reaction where the energy in light is converted into chemical energy of molecules such as ATP and NADPH.
A dark reaction where the molecular energy carriers are used to build the sugar molecules.

Photosyntesis – Pigments
The first step of photosynthesis involves using pigments to capture light.
The range of visible light used for photosynthesis is from about 400 to 750 nanometer wavelengthsof electromagnetic radiation…this range is referred to as PAR –Photosynthetically Active Radiation.
Although chlorophyll is the primarypigment used by plants (it’s what makesplants green…), other pigments such ascarotenoids and phycocyanin are alsoused… why do you think this is?

Respiration
H2O + CO2 ==== light == glucose (sugar) + O2
Photosynthesis:
Complete glucose metabolism through cellular respiration:
sugar + O2 ====== H2O + CO2 + chemical and heat energy
