Warm Up for 9/25/15

1. By what process do small molecules

Diffusion.
move into the cell?
2.
How
osmosis
related
to diffusion?
Both
moveismolecules
through
a selectively
permeable
membrane from a higher concentration to a lower
concentration.

If cells were very large, it would take much

3. What prevents cells from growing
longer for molecules entering the cell to
very
large?
reach
the
center of the cell and for waste
to be removed .

III. Photosynthesis
* All living things need energy

A. Sources of Energy
* Photosynthesis- the process by which a cell
captures energy from sunlight and uses it
to
make food
* the sun supplies energy for most living
things, either directly or indirectly

* Steps in Photosynthesis
1.Sunlight strikes the leaf of a plant
2.Chlorophyll captures light energy
3.Cells use that energy to produce sugars
& O2 from H2O and CO2

* Autotroph- an organism that makes

its own food
* example: plants
* Heterotroph- an organism that can not make
its own food
* obtains energy from eating other
organisms

What are autotrophs?

Organism that make their own food.

B. The Two Stages of

* during photosynthesis plants and
Photosynthesis

other
organisms use energy from the sun to
convert carbon dioxide and water into
oxygen and sugars

1. Stage 1: Capturing the Suns

Energy
* occurs mostly in the leaves
* chloroplast in plant cells have green
pigments which absorb light called
chlorophyll
* chlorophyll captures the energy in light
and uses it to power the second stage

2. Stage 2: Using Energy to Make

Food
* the chloroplast uses the captured
energy to produce sugars
* the cell requires H2O and CO2

Warm Up 9/28/15
1. What is Photosynthesis?
2. What is an Autotroph? What is an
example?
3. What is a Heterotroph? What is an
example?
4. How many steps are in Photosynthesis?
5. What is required for stage 2 of
Photosynthesis to occur?

2. Stage 2: Using Energy to Make

Food
* the chloroplast uses the captured
energy to produce sugars
* the cell requires H2O and CO2

* CO2 enters the plant through stomatasmall openings on the underside of the
leaf

* Inputs = H2O and CO2

* Products = C6H12O6 (sugar) and O2
* Cells use the sugar for energy
* almost all of the O2 in the air is
produced
through photosynthesis

What makes plants green?

Chloroplasts contain the green pigment

chlorophyll.
