PhotosynthesisEQ:What resources do plants need to make food?How does plants and animals help each other?Warmup Review:What does an energy pyramid represent? Why does energy run out by the time it gets to a 3rd level or 4th level consumer?

Photosynthesis is like BakingMake a cake

Ingredients◦ Eggs◦ Milk◦ Flour

Oven/PanHeat

◦ Gives energy◦ Cake mix turns

to cake.

Make Sugar(glucose)

Ingredients◦ Carbon Dioxide◦ Water

Plant/ChlorophyllSunlight

◦ Gives energy◦ Ingredients are

turned into SUGAR!!(glucose)

PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis is a chemical

reaction just like cake! What do we need for

photosynthesis?

Ingredients:◦Water◦Carbon Dioxide

ENERGY!!◦Sunlight

Sugar is like a battery

When an organism needs energy, they can burn sugar.

OxygenWhen a plant makes sugar there

is leftovers.

Very important for us!Making sugar leaves extra

oxygen which plants breathe out. We breathe in.

Oxygen burnsWhy do we need oxygen?

To BURN SugarWe burn sugar for energy.

Burning sugar makes Carbon Dioxide

Carbon DioxideWho needs carbon dioxide?

Why do plants need carbon dioxide?

How do animals help plants?

How do plants help animals?

ReviewWhat two chemicals do plants need

to make sugar?What do plants need from sunlight to

be able to turn chemicals into food?What do plants breathe out when

they are done with photosynthesis?How do animals get the sugar?Why do animals need the sugar?What do the animals release when

they breathe out?

Draw a diagram with a plant and an animal. Include the following things. ◦Show the plant taking in Carbon

Dioxide and water, Sunlight◦Show what the plant releases◦Show what the animal takes in◦Show what the animal releases. ◦Show sugar
