Without the process of Photosynthesis we would not exist. Photosynthesis creates food and water for all living organisms to eat and drink as well as oxygen to breathe. The process of Photosynthesis occurs every day and without it we would not be living. Photosynthesis is the pathway to life and is one of the most essential processes on the Earth.

1. Why does chlorophyll appear green and not a different color?
a. Because chlorophyll reflects green light

2. What happens when chlorophyll is struck by sunlight?
a. The electrons in chlorophyll become energized

3. Include an example of a heterotroph and an autotroph
a. heterotroph- animal
b. autotroph- plant

4. Where do the light dependent and light independent reactions take place in the chloroplast?
a. Thylakoid and stroma

1. Heterotroph- an organism who gets its nutrients from complex organic substances
2. Autotroph- an organism who created its own nutrients from simple inorganic substances like carbon dioxide
3. Prokaryotic- organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles
4. Eukaryotic- organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
5. aerobic cell respiration- A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates
6. anaerobic- A respiratory process in which cells break down the sugar molecules to produce energy without the presence of oxygen
7. Chemical energy- The energy which is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds
8. Light energy- A type of electromagnetic radiation that causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make sugar and oxygen in photosynthesis.
9. Active transport- Uses the energy of photons to move protons across the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast
10. Passive transport- Substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in a process called diffusion

- Energy is released from ATP when bonds break
- Plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis
- ATP is fully charged (3 phosphate groups) where ADP is partially charged (2 phosphate groups)
- NAD+ is known as the electron carrier and it picks up hydrogen in addition to the two supercharged electrons
- The products of the light dependent reaction are ATP, NADPH, and O2
- The products of the light independent reaction are Glucose, NADP+, and H2O
- The 3 structures of the chloroplast are Intermembrane space, Thylakoid and the Stroma
