PHOTOSYNTHESIS
GROUP 4
Light Energy and Plants
Learning Objectives• By the end of this lesson, students should be able to: -explain that the process of photosynthesis
converts light energy to chemical energy. - explain that the sun is the original energy source
for most life on earth. -identify the reactants and products of
photosynthesis. -explain which reactions in photosynthesis are light
dependent which are light independent. -explain why many plants appear green to us here
on earth. Return to TOC
Presenters John: Explain that the sun is the original energy source for
most life on earth and the basics components needed for photosynthesis. Share short Discovery Education video on photosynthesis.
Monique: Explain that the process of photosynthesis converts light energy to chemical energy. Share the Nova Illuminating Photosynthesis resource.
Terence: Identify the reactants and products of photosynthesis, and explain which reactions in photosynthesis are light dependent which are light independent. Share the resource Teach Engineering.
Michelle: Explain why many plants appear green to us here on earth. Share the resource Biology 4 Kids.

Transmitted light
Sunlight minus absorbed Sunlight minus absorbed wavelengths or colors wavelengths or colors equals the apparent equals the apparent color of an object.color of an object.
• The green color comes from chlorophyll in the chloroplasts
• Chloroplasts absorb light energy and convert it to chemical energy

• Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic organisms use light energy to make sugar and oxygen gas from carbon dioxide and water

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis
• Occurs in chloroplasts• The green color comes from
chlorophyll in the chloroplasts• Chlorophyll is the green pigment
that captures light for photosynthesis
• The pigments absorb light energy and create sugar and oxygen
