Presentation Transcript

  1. PHOTOSYNTHESIS Part 3 The Calvin Cycle & Photo Wrap-up pp. 116-124

  2. sunlight 6CO2 + 6H2O  6O2 + C6H12O6

  3. sunlight 6CO2 + 6H2O  6O2 + C6H12O6

  4. Where we’ve been… Where we’re going…

  5. Calvin Cycle • Uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 to carbohydrates • 2 spins around this cycle makes 1 molecule of glucose!

  6. Photosynthesis - Two Parts CALVINCYCLE: Uses the ATP and NADPH to make carbohydrates LIGHT REACTIONS: Make ATPand NADPH 1. Light absorption (by plant pigments) 2. Electron transport chain (making NADPH) 3. Chemiosmosis (making ATP) 4. Calvin Cycle (making carbohydrates)

  7. Complete the chart from yesterday!

  8. What would happen to our world if plants went extinct? • Plants are autotrophs. They produce food for themselves and other organisms. • Plants use photosynthesis to regulate Earth’s environment.

  9. Vocab to keep in mind: • Calvin Cycle • Glucose • ATP and NADPH
