Document Summary

Synthesis = put together: plants, algae, and some bacteria use the energy of sunlight to put together organic compounds (sugars) from inorganic compounds (co2 and water) Why is photosynthesis important: provides the oxygen we breathe, consumes extra co2, provides us food, energy fibers and materials. Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplasts: 6 co2 + 12 h2o light c6h12o6 + 6 o2 + ^ h2o. Where does carbon dioxide come from: co2 comes from the air, moves into leaves through stomates (open and close for gas exchange, co(cid:373)positio(cid:374) of earth"s at(cid:373)osphere. 0. 035% carbon dioxide: co2 changes during the day. At 5 am, co2 is high (400 ppm) At 6 am, sun comes up and photosynthesis begins. 8 pm, co2 levels rise again (400 ppm: co2 acts as an insulator that traps heat the result is global warming. Roots absorb water from the soil (osmosis) Palisade layer filled with chloroplasts that absorb light and do photosynthesis.
