Cornell Notes

Topic/Objective: Chloroplasts and Photosynthesis

Name: Sergio Alvarado

Class/Period: 5
Date: 11/16 11/19

Essential Question: Investigate the molecular pathway through which light energy is transferred to chemical energy and
dispersed throughout an ecosystem

Questions:
What is
photosynthesis?

Notes:
Photosynthesis is the process of which sunlight, Co2 and Water are
input into plants and undergo the Calvin cycle and light dependent
reaction to create c6h12o6 or glucose.

`
What are the main
parts of
chloroplasts that
photosynthesis
occurs in?

What are the

products and
reactants that
occur from
photosynthesis?

The main parts of the chloroplasts are:

Thylakoid
Stroma
Lumen
Granum
Chlorophyll
CO2 + H2O => C6H12O6 + O2

What are the main

items that impact
the rate of
photosynthesis?

The main items that impact photosynthesis are:

Temperature
Water
Light intensity
CO2

Why is
photosynthesis
important to
animals?

Photosynthesis is important to humans and other animals because

the process leads for a survival of living organisms. The water,
sunlight, and CO2 that are put into the cycle of plants for
photosynthesis leave a product of oxygen to breath and glucose as
a form of energy.

Summary: Photosynthesis is the process of which sunlight, Co2 and Water are input into
plants and undergo the Calvin cycle and light dependent reaction to create c6h12o6 or
glucose. The water, sunlight, and CO2 that are put into the cycle of plants for
photosynthesis leave a product of oxygen to breath and glucose as a form of energy.
