The process of photosynthesis.

PRESENTATION OUTLINE

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

POWER OF LIGHT

It is the process of of converting light energy into chemical energy and bonding the energy to sugar to carry the plants daily activities in life.

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast of a plant cell

Therefore if a plants leaves are not green (it has wilted) the plant can not go through photosynthesis, meaning it dies.

Plants use energy from the sun to make the "food" (glucose) they need to survive this process is called photosynthesis

Photosynthesis benefits the earth because it expels breathable oxygen

The process is a series of chemical steps that need components (ingredients)

STEPS

Step 1) Sun light shines down and it gets trapped by the chlorophyll. The light is used to provide energy during the process.

Step 2) Remaining energy is carried to the Stroma (a part of the chloroplast) the other energy is used to split water into hydrogen oxygen.

Step 3) The oxygen is released and the Hydrogen is carried to the stroma (from the water) and carbon dioxide enters through the plant leaves (air)

Step 4) The stroma combines the hydrogen and carbon dioxide during a chemical reaction to make glucose (carbohydrate)

GLUCOSE

IS CARRIED THROUGH THE PLANT TO BE USED FOR LATER.

THAT

IS THE NEVER ENDING PROCESS OF PHOTOSYTHESIS
