Friday December 14th
During the first stage of photosynthesis there was a
transformation of energy. Which of
the following best describes this transformation.
A. ATP
to Chemical
B.
Chemical to Heat
C. Heat
to Chemical
D.
Light to Chemical - Light energy (in the form of electromagnetic waves) is transfered into Chemical energy in the form of different energy storing molecules.
This energy transformation resulted in two energy-storing
molecules known as ATP and NADPH.
How do these molecules store energy?
Within the chemical bonds of these molecules. Recall we have been focusing a LOT lately on the importance of understanding that energy is stored in chemical bonds and when those bonds are broken, energy is released.
After this we finished up notes on photosynthesis going through the following slides. These focused on the light independent reaction (also referred to as the dark reaction because it does not NEED sunlight - but it can still occur when the sun is out)
