Photosynthesis Grade 9

Quarter 1 - Module 5 :
Photosynthesis
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
NEGROS OCCIDENTAL HIGH SCHOOL
Division of Negros Occidental
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.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.

Stomata in leaves
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
To be able to use these raw materials, we need energy.
Where can we get this energy?
Our main source of energy is the sun!
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Photosynthesis is a food making process done by
plants and autotrophic organisms such as algae,
phytoplankton and some bacteria. The process requires
light energy, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20) to
make food (sugar).

BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Where does photosynthesis take place?
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Internal Structure of a Leaf.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
What are chloroplasts?
These are cell organelles which

are only found in autotrophic
eukaryotes, such as plants
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Internal structure of chloroplast
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Stages of Photosynthesis
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Two phases of photosynthesis
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.
✓ 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) ,needed in the next stage.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.

Quarter 1 - Module 5 :
Cellular Respiration
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
In identifying the basic features and importance of
cellular respiration. (S9LT-Ig-j-31)
The Learners’ will;
1. identify the materials needed and products produced by

cellular respiration;
2. compare and contrast aerobic and anaerobic type of cellular
respiration; and
3. recognize the importance of cellular respiration.

REVIEW
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
How do you think your
cells produce energy to
keep you going?
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
GLUCOSE, the simple organic
molecule found in carbohydrates, is the
main source of energy for most
organisms. It is the main product of
photosynthesis.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Photosynthesis happens in chloroplasts
while cellular respiration happens in
MITOCHONDRIA.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
(Mitochondria)
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Cellular Respiration is classified into
TWO TYPES.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
1. AEROBIC RESPIRATION
which occurs in the presence of
oxygen
2. ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION
which occurs in the absence of oxygen.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Aerobic Respiration
After you have done the short

exercises, your body releases sweat
(water), and you breathe in oxygen and
breathe out carbon dioxide.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
The summary equation for
AEROBIC RESPIRATION is
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
yields
reactants products
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
Cellular respiration undergoes four
main stages namely,
1. Glycolysis
2. Pyruvate oxidation,
3. Krebs Cycle
4. Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
2. The Krebs Cycle, which converts
acetyl coenzyme A into carbon dioxide,
releasing chemical energy and captured
in the form of NADH, FADH2 and ATP.
Krebs Cycle produces 2 more ATP.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
NADH
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
FADH2
Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
3. Lastly, FADH and NADH pass their
electron in the electron transport
chain. As a result, releasing large
amount of chemical energy.
Electron transport chain produces

as much as 34 ATP molecules.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
How much ATP are produced in all
three stages?
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
✓Glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules
✓Krebs Cycle produces 2 more.
✓Electron transport chain produces as
much as 34 ATP molecules.
✓Overall, there are 38 ATP molecules

produced.
BIOLOGY - GRADE 9
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.
