‭●‬ ‭Photosynthesis‬‭is‬‭a‬‭light-gathering‬‭biochemical‬‭pathway‬‭that‬‭fixes‬‭CO‬‭2‬ ‭to‬‭make‬‭sugar‬
‭(glucose)‬
‭●‬ ‭Biochemical‬‭pathways‬
‭○‬ ‭Series‬‭of‬‭enzymes‬‭controlled‬‭reactions‬‭that‬‭produce‬‭products‬
‭■‬ ‭Photosynthesis‬‭has‬‭two‬‭pathways‬
‭●‬ ‭Light‬‭reactions‬‭(light‬‭dependent)‬
‭○‬ ‭Requires‬‭light‬
‭●‬ ‭Light‬‭independent‬‭reactions‬
‭○‬ ‭“Dark‬‭reactions”‬
‭●‬ ‭Autotrophs‬‭are‬‭self-nourishing‬‭or‬‭use‬‭photosynthesis‬
‭○‬ ‭Plants‬
‭○‬ ‭Algae‬‭-‬‭lack‬‭tissue‬‭differentiation‬
‭●‬ ‭Heterotrophs‬‭are‬‭other‬‭nourishing‬‭or‬‭using‬‭cell‬‭respiration‬
‭○‬ ‭Animals‬
‭○‬ ‭Fungus‬
‭●‬ ‭Photosynthesis‬‭equation‬
‭○‬ ‭Light+H‬‭2‬‭O+CO‬‭2‬ ‭→‬‭C‭2‬ ‬‭H‭1‬2‬‭O‬‭6‭+‬ O‬‭2‬
‭○‬ ‭Balanced‬‭equation:‬
‭■‬ ‭Light‬‭+‬‭6H‬‭2‬‭O‬‭+‬‭6CO‬‭2‬ ‭→‬‭C‭6‬ ‬‭H‭1‬2‬‭O‬‭6‬‭+‬‭6O‬‭2‬
‭○‬ ‭Not‬‭an‬‭actual‬‭chemical‬‭equation,‬‭it‬‭is‬‭a‬‭representative‬‭equation,‬‭just‬‭showing‬
‭the‬‭law‬‭of‬‭conservation‬
‭○‬ ‭Not‬‭as‬‭simple‬
‭●‬ ‭Chloroplast‬‭-‬‭may‬‭have‬‭been‬‭a‬‭cell‬‭at‬‭one‬‭time‬
‭○‬ ‭Functions‬‭to‬‭gather‬‭light‬‭to‬‭make‬‭glucose‬
‭○‬ ‭Structure‬‭of‬‭a‬‭chloroplast‬
‭■‬ ‭Stroma‬
‭●‬ ‭Jelly-like‬‭nutrient-rich‬‭substance‬‭that‬‭surrounds‬‭the‬‭thylakoids‬
‭●‬ ‭Site‬‭of‬‭the‬‭light-independent‬‭reactions‬
‭●‬ ‭Where‬‭enzymes‬‭are‬‭found‬
‭●‬ ‭Similar‬‭to‬‭the‬‭cytoplasm‬
‭■‬ ‭Thylakoids‬
‭●‬ ‭Photosynthetic‬‭membranes‬
‭●‬ ‭Site‬‭of‬‭the‬‭light‬‭reactions‬
‭●‬ ‭Houses‬‭the‬‭photosynthetic‬‭pigments‬
‭○‬ ‭Chlorophylls‬‭-‬‭2‬‭of‬‭them‬
‭○‬ ‭Orange‬‭pigments‬‭-‬‭Carotenes‬
‭○‬ ‭Yellow‬‭pigments‬‭-‬‭Xanthophylls‬
