Learning Objective: we are learning to,

1) Explain the process of photosynthesis and its importance in the


conversion of light energy to chemical energy.
2) Write the word equation and the balanced chemical symbol equation for
photosynthesis.
3) Describe the structure of the leaf and explain how it is adapted for
photosynthesis

Let us discuss about nutrition in plants.


Plant tissue contains the same types of chemical molecules (carbohydrates, proteins
and lipids) as animal tissues. While animals eat other organisms to get the nutrients to
make these molecules, plants make these on their own from basic building blocks.

TASK 1
Construct a WORD equation
to represent photosynthesis. Light energy
Remember to label the Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose + Oxygen
chlorophyll
reactants and the products.

TASK 2
If you were able to state
the word equation, now re-
write that as a CHEMICAL
equation.

TASK 3
If you were able to write
the chemical equation, now
balance this equation to get
a BALANCED CHEMICAL
equation.

• PLANTS RELY ON SUNLIGHT TO MEET THEIR
BIOCHEMICAL NEEDS FOR CELL MAINTENANCE,
GROWTH, AND DEFENSE, THROUGH
PHOTOSYNTHESIS, THE PROCESS THAT POWERS LIFE
ON OUR PLANET.
• DECADES OF RESEARCH HAVE GIVEN US A DETAILED
VIEW OF THE CORE CELL COMPONENTS OF
PHOTOSYNTHESIS. THESE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN
STUDIED THE MOST THOROUGHLY UNDER HIGHLY
CONTROLLED LABORATORY CONDITIONS.
• NOW, SCIENTISTS WANT TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
AND IMPROVE CROP PRODUCTIVITY AROUND THE WORLD, SO WE CAN
