How do plants manufacture
Lesson food?
1
You already know in your previous years that autotrophs such as plants can their own
food through a process called photosynthesis. This is a biological process involving conversion
of carbon dioxide and water into glucose which is then used as food by the plants. In addition,
this requires certain materials for successful production of glucose.
In this lesson, you will learn how photosynthesis takes place and what are the needed
materials for it to take place.
What I Need to Know
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. identify the plant structures involved in photosynthesis;
2. identify the raw materials needed in the food making process;
3. identify the products of photosynthesis; and
4. describe the process and importance of photosynthesis.
1
What’s In
In the previous lesson you learn that species extinction relates to the failure of
populations of an organism to adapt in the changing environment. Our environment is
changing due to disturbances caused by human activities. Some organism is able to adapt to
these changes but some were not and it may lead to an ecological imbalance. It is essential
for us to learn what are the basic needs of this organisms to be able to survive. Let’s start with
what we call the producer, the plants.
What’s New
Photosynthesis usually takes place in the leaves, but before we look into the internal
structure of the leaves, let’s learn first the things that are needed for the plants to start the
process.
Activity 1. Getting to Know Photosynthesis

Let’s find out: What do plants need during photosynthesis?
How do plants gather raw materials?
Let’s do it this way:
Have you tried cooking? Before cooking, you need some ingredients or raw materials
first, right? Plants need that too.
Have you noticed a seed sprouting then turn into a young plant? Can you list below the
things that plants need to be able to grow?
1.
2.
3.
If you successfully list those things, label the parts of the plant below that will help in
acquiring them. Draw an arrow to trace where the raw materials are finally delivered. Use the
box below as guide.

For the next activity let’s now look into the main part of the plant where photosynthesis
takes place. And which part is that? Yes, you’re right, the leaves!
Activity 2. Internal parts of a leaf and chloroplast
Let’s find out: How do the internal of leaf and chloroplast looks like?
Label the parts of (a.) the internal structure of a leaf and (b) chloroplast using the given word
bank.
a. The internal structure of a leaf

spongy upper epidermis
palisade lower epidermis

b. Chloroplast
thylakoid outer membrane stroma
granum inner membrane
Illustrated by: Cheenie Mae A. Dacula
What Is It
Are you having fun with the activity? Let's look closely.
For the first task, I let you list the things that plants need in order to grow. What are
those? Of course! Plants need water, carbon dioxide (remember the exchange of gases
between plants and animals) and the energy from the sun. Study the figure below.

Figure 1. Photosynthesis in Plants.
4
The different parts of the plants and its functions are:
1. The roots, wherein water is absorbed and delivered to the leaves.
2. Next to it is the stem, this part is the one that will transport the nutrients and
water to the leaves.
3. Not only water is delivered to the leaves but also the carbon dioxide that enters
through the stomata.

Figure 2. Stomata in leaves
To be able to use these raw materials, we need energy. Where can we get this energy? You’re
right! Our main source of energy is the sun!
With these raw materials, plant then undergoes photosynthesis.
What is photosynthesis?

Figure 3. Photosynthesis in Plants.
Photosynthesis is a food making process done by plants and autotrophic organisms
such as algae, phytoplankton and some bacteria. As shown in the figure above, the process
requires light energy, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20) to make food (sugar).
5
The chemical reaction for photosynthesis is:
light energy
6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
carbon dioxide water chlorophyll glucose oxygen
Where does photosynthesis take place?

Figure 4. Internal Structure of a Leaf.
Primarily, photosynthesis takes place in the leaves due to the presence of chloroplast
which contains chlorophyll. The typical parts of the leaves are the upper and lower epidermis,
mesophyll spongy layer, vascular bundles and the stomata.
Parts Functions
Upper and Lower Epidermis protects the leaves
Mesophyll traps light energy from sun

Vascular bundles transports manufactured food and
water
Stomata gas exchange
What are chloroplasts? These are cell organelles which are only found in autotrophic
eukaryotes, such as plants.

Figure 5. Internal structure of chloroplast
Chloroplast is a cell organelle having a double membrane composed of inner and
outer membrane. It is where stacks of thylakoids (a disc-shaped structures) called grana are
found which is surrounded by the liquid-filled space called stroma, which also plays a role in
the process of photosynthesis.
6
Stages of Photosynthesis

Figure 6. Two phases of photosynthesis
As the name implies, light-dependent reactions require the light coming from the sun,
which is then absorbed by the chlorophyll occurring in the thylakoid membrane converting light
energy into chemical energy. Also, water is used in this stage to facilitate the formation of free
electrons and oxygen. The energy gathered during the stage is stored in the form ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate) and NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate
Hydrogen) which will be needed in the next stage.
Light-independent reaction (Calvin Cycle) occurs right away after the light-dependent
phase. It needs the products of the light phase to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into sugar.
This stage takes place in the stroma.

How is stored energy in food
converted into chemical
Lesson energy?
2
Animals and other organisms are heterotrophs. They cannot produce their food; hence,
they feed on plants as their main source of energy. In your Grade 8, you have learned the parts
and function of the digestive system. The food enters the mouth and reaches the intestines where
digested food is absorbed and assimilated. When the food is digested, it breaks down into
glucose—a type of sugar. But, how is glucose be converted into energy? Is there a process
involved in it??
In this lesson, you will learn how food, specifically sugar, is converted into energy.
What I Need to Know

1. describe the structure and function of mitochondria as the main organelle
involved in respiration
2. identify the materials needed in cellular respiration.
3. identify the products of cellular respiration
4. describe the process and importance of respiration
11
What’s In
Plants and animals both needs energy. However, they acquire energy in different ways
given that plants were autotrophs and animals were heterotrophs. This implies there are certain
things that these two differ. You already learned how plants make their own food. How they
transform water and carbon dioxide into glucose with the help of the energy from the sun. Do
animals have chloroplast? Can they photosynthesize? Of course, not! If so, how will they be able
to get energy? Yes, that is through cellular respiration
What’s New
Activity 3. Getting to Know Cellular Respiration

Let’s find out: How do cells respire during a short exercise?
Let’s try a short workout for you to start with.
For 10 minutes follow the following instructions.
Note: Try to take 30 seconds rest between each exercise.
1. Squats
Stand with your feet and arms stretched forward then lower your body. Do it 20 times.

Figure 7. Curl ups
2. Jumping Jacks
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Raise your arm and clap over your head while
jumping. Do it 16 times.

Figure 8. Jumping Jacks
If you’re done, answer the question briefly.
What do you feel after doing the short exercise?
12
What Is It
All organisms need energy to be able to move, grow and even repair. Since animals are
heterotrophic, they feed on plants and even other organisms; they cannot make their food. The
energy source of all organisms is called adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. The food
that you eat will not be directly converted into ATP; instead, it will undergo a process called
cellular respiration.
Glucose, the simple organic molecule found in carbohydrates, is the main source of
energy for most organisms. It is the main product of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis happens in
chloroplasts while cellular respiration happens in mitochondria.
Figure 9. Mitochondrion
Cellular Respiration is classified into two types —aerobic respiration which occurs in the
presence of oxygen and anaerobic respiration which occurs in the absence of oxygen.
A. Aerobic Respiration
After you have done the short exercise, your body releases sweat (water), and you breathe
in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
The summary equation for aerobic respiration is
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Glucose Oxygen Carbon water energy
dioxide
Cellular respiration undergoes four main stages namely, glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation,
Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain (ETC).
13
Figure 10. Stages of cellular respiration
1. The first stage is Glycolysis, which occurs in the cytoplasm. In this stage, the
glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate, which is transferred into
the mitochondria to form acetyl coenzyme A, gaining 2 ATP.
2. Next, the Krebs Cycle which converts acetyl coenzyme A into carbon dioxide,
releasing chemical energy and captured in the form of NADH, FADH2 and ATP.
3. Lastly, FADH and NADH pass their electron in the electron transport chain. As a
result, releasing large amount of chemical energy.
How much ATP are produced in all three stages? If we try to sum it up, glycolysis produces
2 ATP molecules and the Krebs Cycle produces 2 more. Electron transport chain produces as
much as 34 ATP molecules. Overall, there are 38 ATP molecules produced.
B. Anaerobic Respiration
Same with aerobic respiration it also begins with glycolysis where a molecule of glucose is
broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid. Then pyruvic acid is further divided into
acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide and acetaldehyde acts as an acceptor of hydrogen to produce
ethyl alcohol. Anaerobic respiration only produces 2 net ATP molecules

Differentiating Photosynthesis
Lesson and Cellular Respiration
3
In the preceding lessons, photosynthesis and cellular respiration have been introduced
and discussed. As we went through the lessons, we came to find similarities and differences
between the two processes.
In this lesson, you will be able to determine and discuss the differences between the
two processes.
What I Need to Know

1. differentiate photosynthesis and cellular respiration
18
What’s In
You already know how plants manufacture food and how heterotrophs, mostly animals,
convert the food into energy. Plants use the sun's energy, water, and carbon dioxide. It then
undergoes a process to be able to make food. This food will then be used by other organisms
to be able to survive.
What’s New
Complete the following equations.

a. photosynthesis
b. cellular respiration
c. Write what you have noticed with the two equations

______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
What is It
Let’s look into the given activity wherein we will observe the following
equations.
Photosynthesis:
6CO2 + 6H2O light energy C6H12O6 + 6O2
Cellular Respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
dioxide
19
Given the equation above, you can notice that photosynthesis is just a reverse
equation of cellular respiration. Photosynthesis needs carbon dioxide, water, and energy
which results in the production of glucose and oxygen. On the other hand, cellular respiration
needs glucose and oxygen which results in the production of carbon dioxide, water, and
energy. In other words, the products of one process are the reactants of the other. With these
we can conclude that autotrophs and heterotrophs need each other to be able to survive.
