Document Summary

Photosynthesis: production of oxygen: plants use solar energy to make their own food by transforming co2 and water into sugars that store chemical energy. Some bacteria can also do this: supports life in 3 ways: Sugars building blocks of organic matter/life: uses light energy to convert co2 into o2. Animal cells and plant cells are similar except for 3 components: plants have cell walls, plants have plastids chloroplasts, plants have a big vacuole. 90% of the cell occupied by vacuole. Red = mitochondria: cytoplasmic streaming, amiloplasts can be converted into chloroplasts. Can only be seen with a transmission electron microscope. 1) light reactions: occurs in thylakoid membrane. Uses light and h2o to generate chemical energy in the form of atp and nadph and releases o2 as a by- product. 2) calvin cycle/dark reaction: occurs in the stroma and produces simple 3 carbon sugars. Scanning electron microscope used to look at surface o.
