I. Objectives:
At the end of a 60-minute session at least 75% of the students were able to:
1. Define photosynthesis conceptually.
2. Name the processes involved in photosynthesis operationally.
3. Identify the raw materials and the products in photosynthesis properly.
4. Give the importance of photosynthesis.
II. Subject Matter:
a. Topic:
Photosynthesis
b. Materials:
1 pc laptop
1 pc projector
Video presentation on photosynthesis
4 pcs Activity sheets on concept mapping
1 pc manila paper
c. Reference:
d. Concept:
Photosynthesis is a process of food making done by plants and


other autotrophic organisms.
 The presence of chlorophyll enables these organisms to make their
own food. Autotrophic organisms require light energy, carbon
dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O) to make food (sugar).
 There are two stages of photosynthesis: (a) Light-dependent
Reaction and (b) Calvin Cycle (dark reaction).

D. Presentation
Photosynthesis is the process of food making done by
plants and other autotrophic organisms. The presence
of chlorophyll enables these organisms to make their
own food. Autotrophic organisms require light energy,
carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O) to make food
(sugar).
In plants, photosynthesis primarily takes place in the

leaves and little or none in stems depending on the
presence of chlorophyll. The typical parts of the leaves
include the upper and lower epidermis, mesophyll
spongy layer, vascular bundles, and stomates. The
upper and lower epidermis protects the leaves and has
nothing to do with photosynthetic processes.
Mesophyll has the most number of chloroplasts that

contain chlorophyll. They are important in trapping
light energy from the sun. Vascular bundles - phloem
and xylem serve as transporting vessels of
manufactured food and water. Carbon dioxide and
oxygen were collected in the spongy layer and enters
and exits the leaf through the stomata.
The parts of a chloroplast include the outer and inner

membranes, intermembrane space, stroma and
thylakoids stacked in grana. The chlorophyll is built
into the membranes of the thylakoids. Chlorophyll
absorbs white light but it looks green because white
light consists of three primary colors: red, blue, and
green.
Only red and blue light is absorbed thus making these

colors unavailable to be seen by our eyes while the
green light is reflected which makes the chlorophyll
looks green. However, it is the energy from red light
and blue light that are absorbed and will be used in
photosynthesis. The green light that we can see is not
absorbed by the plant and thus, cannot be used in
photosynthesis.
There are two stages of photosynthesis: (a) Light-

dependent Reaction and (b) Calvin Cycle (dark
reaction). Light-dependent reaction happens in the
presence of light. It occurs in the thylakoid membrane
and converts light energy to chemical energy.
Water-one of the raw materials of photosynthesis-is
utilized during this stage and facilitates the formation
of free electrons and oxygen.
The energy harvested during this stage is stored in the

form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
andNADPH(Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
Phosphate Hydrogen). These products will be needed
in the next stage to complete photosynthetic process.
Calvin cycle (dark reaction) is a light independent

phase that takes place in the stomata and converts
Carbon dioxide (CO2) into sugar. This stage does not
directly need light but needs the product of light
reaction. This is why it occurs immediately after the
light –dependent phase.
The chemical reaction for photosynthesis is:

CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + O2
Carbon dioxide water glucose oxygen
