Document Summary

Photosyntheic organisms: convert sunlight energy into chemical energy, use energy to assemble complex organic molecules from inorganic raw materials. The organic molecules are then used as energy sources by the organism itself, and by other organisms (ie heterotrophs) Sunlight converted by photosynthesis into glucose, producing oxygen as a by-product: this oxygen is now used for cellular respiraion. Photosynthesis has two phases: energy from the sun is captured (chlorophyll, calvin cycle. Energy from light is converted to energy atp and. In the process adp and pi and nadp are used. Have a third membrane system in the chloroplasts called thylakoid membrane: forms disincive stacks of membranes called granum. Are part of a larger group of organelles called plasids: present in every cell of the plant. Chromoplasts, sill have plasids but not chlororphil: have diferent pigments making them red and no photosynthesis.
