Ecosystem: Life Energy

Ecosystem
-everything that exists in a
particular environment.
-the complex of a community
of organisms and its
environment functioning as a
ecological unit.

Photosynthesis
-is a process of food making
done by plants and other
autotrophic organisms.
-autotrophic organisms require
light energy, carbon dioxide, and
water to make food.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

-In plants, photosynthesis


primarily takes place in the
leaves and little or none in
stems depending on the
presence of chlorophyll.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

Chlorophyll
-absorbs white light but it looks green
because white light consists of three
primary colors: red, blue and green.
-only red and blue light is absorbed
thus making these colors unavailable to be
seen our eyes while the green light is
reflected which makes the chlorophyll
looks green.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

-The typical of the leaves include the


upper and lower epidermis, mesophyll
spongy layer, vascular bundles and
stomata.
-The upper and lower epidermis protects
the leaves and has nothing to do with
photosynthetic processes.
-The mesophyll has the most number of
chloroplast that contain chlorophyll.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

-They are the important in trapping light


energy from the sun.
-Vascular bundles (phloem and xylem)
serve as transporting vessel of
manufactured food and water.
-Carbon dioxide and oxygen are collected
in the spongy layer and enter and exit the
leaf through the stomata.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

There are two stages of photosynthesis:

Light dependent Reaction


-happens in the presence of light.
-it occurs in thylakoid membrane and
converts light energy to chemical energy.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

Calvin Cycle (dark reaction)


-is a light-independent phase that
takes place in the stroma and converts
carbon dioxide into sugar.
-this stage does not directly need light
but needs the products of light reaction.
-this is why it occurs immediately
after the light-independent phase.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

The Chemical Reaction for Photosynthesis is:

CO2H2OC6H
12O6O2
Ecosystem: Life Energy

Cellular Respiration
-food is considered as the major
source of energy for all organisms.
-in respiration, the food is broken
down to release the energy(ATP) in the
process of oxygen.
-it takes place in the cell, specifically
in the mitochondria.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

Why Photosynthesis
is important?
Why do you think
plants are great
providers?
Ecosystem: Life Energy
Identify the following:
1. Is the process of food making done by plants and
other autotrophic organisms;
2.What stage of photosynthesis happens in the
presence of light?
3.The chemical reaction for photosynthesis
4.The stage of photosynthesis phase takes place in
the stroma and converts carbon dioxide into
sugar
5.Food is considered as the major source of energy
for all organisms.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

Summary:
>Through the process of
photosynthesis, plants and other
chlorophyll-bearing organisms
produce food for themselves.
>In photosynthesis, plants capture
light energy and convert it into
chemical energy stored in food.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

>the summary equation for photosynthesis is as


follows:
Carbon dioxide + water=sunlight glucose + oxygen
chlorophyll
>Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast found in
the leaves of plants.
>Essentially, the two major stages in photosynthesis
are:
*Light Reaction Phase
*Calvin Cycle
Ecosystem: Life Energy

>Improve farming practices enhance


photosynthesis that result in good
harvest.
>Cellular respiration occurs in the
mitochondria of the cells.
>Organisms release stored energy in food
through the process of respiration.
>Respiration breaks down glucose into
carbon dioxide, water and energy (ATP) in
the presence of oxygen.
Ecosystem: Life Energy

>The summary equation of


respiration is as follows:
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon dioxide
+ water +ATP
>The breakdown of glucose
involves three major steps:
glycolysis, Krebs cycle; electron
transport chain
