  • Each granum is composed of stacks of thylakoids 
  • The thylakoids have membranes, and there is a space inside
This membrane is the actual site of the light photosynthesis, that’s where the pigment is, where all the chlorophyll is for absorbing the wavelengths of light to help the plant do photosynthesis.

- the brighter the light the faster photosynthesis occurs
-The amount of light changes how fast or slow photosynthesis works]]> 2020-10-06 16:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807537676 WHO lisaacallender https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807548143 Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. 

Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.]]> 2020-10-06 16:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807548143 WHY lisaacallender https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807550753 -A plant’s cells use about half of the sugar as fuel for their own
cellular respiration
-Roots, flowers, fruits, seeds, and other nonphotosynthetic plant
parts could not grow without sugar shipments from green leaves and stems
-A plant also uses glucose molecules as the building blocks of
the cellulose wall that surrounds every plant cell
-Photosynthesis provides not only food for the plant but also
the energy, raw materials, and O2 that support most heterotrophs]]> 2020-10-06 16:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807550753 HOW https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807558803 Photoautotrophs (self-feeders that use sunlight as an energy source) use light energy to convert CO2 and H2O into sugar and O2. 

Light reactions and the Calvin Cycle drive photosynthesis.
Step 1: Light Reactions- Light energy is converted into chemical energy (ATP)
Step 2: The Calvin Cycle-ATP is used to build sugar from CO2.]]> 2020-10-06 17:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807558803 lisaacallender https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807674363 2020-10-06 17:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807674363 lisaacallender https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807691805 2020-10-06 17:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lisaacallender/42p8yd3f6y1wfq9z/wish/807691805
