TIME MACHINECells are not born with a supply of ATP. So, where
does the energy to make ATP come from? From the ____________ we
eat. Organisms that obtain energy by consuming other living things
are _____________________. Other organisms can produce food using
energy from sunlight. These organisms are called _______________.

Photosynthesis OverviewIn the process of photosynthesis, plants
convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy stored in the
bonds of carbohydrates (food).
Photosynthesis Overview
JournalWrite the written and chemical equations for
photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis occurs in pigmented structures called
chloroplasts.
Photosynthesis occurs in two phases:Light-Dependent
ReactionsLight-Independent Reactions
Phase One: Light-Dependent ReactionsLocation: ThylakoidLight
energy is absorbed by the chloroplasts and converted into chemical
energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
Electron Transport & Chemiosmosis (See Page 225 in
textbook)
Cellular EnergyPhase Two: The Calvin Cycle (Light Independent
Reactions)Location: StromaIn the second phase of photosynthesis,
called the Calvin cycle, energy is stored in organic molecules such
as glucose.

which the amount of water or carbon dioxide is insufficient. Plants
have structural modifications that allow sufficient carbon dioxide
uptake, while simultaneously minimizing water loss.
