Flashcards
What is photosynthesis?
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria capture sunlight energy and convert it into chemical energy stored as glucose.
What are chloroplasts?
What are chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place. They contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs sunlight.
What is chlorophyll?
What is chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that absorbs light energy, particularly red and blue wavelengths, and converts it into chemical energy used in photosynthesis.

Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Plants, algae, and some bacteria use chlorophyll in chloroplasts to capture sunlight energy
- This energy converts carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into glucose (C6H12O6), a form of stored chemical energy
- Oxygen (O2) is a byproduct of this process
Cellular Respiration
- Cells use cellular respiration to break down glucose using oxygen in mitochondria
- This process releases energy, storing it in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules
- ATP powers cell activities
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration: Reactants and Products
- Photosynthesis:
- Reactants: Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight
- Products: Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)
- Location: Chloroplasts (specifically thylakoids and stroma)
- Cellular Respiration:
- Reactants: Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)
- Products: Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ATP
- Location: Cytoplasm (glycolysis) and mitochondria (Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain)
Chlorophyll's Function
- Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplasts of plant cells
- It absorbs sunlight, particularly red and blue light, converting it into energy that drives photosynthesis
- Without chlorophyll, photosynthesis would not occur
