Unveiling the Magic of Photosynthesis

Explore the fascinating process of photosynthesis occurring in plant chloroplasts, generating glucose and ATP. Learn the key steps, such as light absorption by chlorophyll, water splitting, and energy conversion. This natural phenomenon can be summarized by the chemical equation: 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

  1. Photosynthesis

  2. Photosynthesis • Occurs in plant chloroplasts, producing g________ and ATP.

  3. Photosynthesis • Occurs in plant chloroplasts, producing g________ and ATP. • Can be summarised as: • 6H20 + 6CO2  C6H12O6 + 6O2 • Water + Carb.Diox  Glucose + Oxygen

  4. Photosynthesis • Occurs in plant chloroplasts, producing g________ and ATP. • Can be summarised as: • 6H20 + 6CO2  C6H12O6 + 6O2 • Water + Carb.Diox  Glucose + Oxygen • Light phase (the photo part) • - Chlorophyll absorbs light. The energy is used to do 2 things:

  5. Photosynthesis • Occurs in plant chloroplasts, producing g________ and ATP. • Can be summarised as: • 6H20 + 6CO2  C6H12O6 + 6O2 • Water + Carb.Diox  Glucose + Oxygen • Light phase (the photo part) • Chlorophyll absorbs light. The energy is used to do 2 things: • * Split water into hydrogen & oxygen (the hydrogen goes to fill an hydrogen carrier NADP  NADPH2; O2 is released as a waste product) • ***** Don’t panic here if this is making no sense! You mainly need to know that it splits water – the extra is there for those who wish to remember it!

  6. Photosynthesis • Occurs in plant chloroplasts, producing g________ and ATP. • Can be summarised as: • 6H20 + 6CO2  C6H12O6 + 6O2 • Water + Carb.Diox  Glucose + Oxygen • Light phase (the photo part) • Chlorophyll absorbs light. The energy is used to do 2 things: • * Split water into hydrogen & oxygen (the hydrogen goes to fill an hydrogen carrier NADP  NADPH2; O2 is released as a waste product) • * To ‘excite’ electrons (giving them more energy) which charges up ADP to ATP.
