What is
photosynthesis?
 Introduction

What is Photosynthesis
- Is the synthesis of carbohydrates from
sunlight, water and CO2 by the green plants.
- It is the process that converts solar energy into
chemical energy.
 Introduction

How does Photosynthesis work?

Photosynthesis
6CO2 +6H20 + light  C6H1206 + 6O2
Name the two
division of
Photosynthesis.
 Introduction
How does Photosynthesis work?
2 metabolic pathways
involved
 Light reactions:
convert solar energy
into cellular energy
 Calvin Cycle: reduce
•Organisms that can perform
CO2 to CH2O
photosynthesis are called
autotrophs whereas those that
cannot are called heterotrophs
Enumerate the
requirements of
photosynthesis.
 Introduction

Requirements for Photosynthesis?

 Carbon Dioxide

 Water

 Light.It is a visible part f electromagnetic radiations

(390-760 nm) Photosynthetically Active Radiation
(PAR) is 400 -700 nm.

From CO2  C6H12O6

 CO has very little chemical energy
2
 fully oxidized
C H12O6 contains a lot of chemical energy

 highly reduced
 Synthesis = endergonic process
 put in a lot of energy
 Reduction of CO2  C6H12O6 proceeds in many small
uphill steps
 each catalyzed by a specific enzyme
 using energy stored in ATP & NADPH
