Document Summary

Plants convert co2 and h2o to sugars and o2 by the use of solar energy. Chemoautotrophs- prokaryotes that use inorganic chemicals as a source of energy. In water, algae, protists, and photosynthetic prokaryotes are prokaryotes; cyanobacteria and kelp. Endosymbiosis- chloroplasts come from a photosynthetic prokaryote that lived within a eukaryotic cell. 7. 2 photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts in plant cells. Leaves are major site of photosynthesis in plants; have many chloroplasts. Chlorophyll- gives leaf the green color; in chloroplasts; converts solar to chemical energy. Chloroplasts are in the cells of the mesophyll-green tissue in leaf. Stomata- pores in which co2 enters the leaf and o2 exits. Water delivered to leaves by roots through veins. Veins also used to carry sugar toroots. Membranes in chloroplast form framework for the reactions of photosynthesis. Storoma- thick fluid in inner compartment of chloroplast. Chlorophyll present here and capture solar energy. Light energy chemical energy stroma to make sugar.
