116614Released 9mo ago100% Free# Photosynthesis and its Role in the Ecosystem ## Key Concepts - **Photosynthesis**: The process by which plants and other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose or other sugars - **Autotrophs**: Organisms that can produce their own food using light or chemical energy - **Chlorophyll**: Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy ## Process of Photosynthesis 1. **Light Reactions** - Occur in thylakoid membranes - Capture light energy - Produce ATP and NADPH 2. **Calvin Cycle (Dark Reactions)** - Occurs in stroma - Uses ATP and NADPH from light reactions - Produces glucose ## Chemical Equation 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Light Energy → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ## Importance in Ecosystems - **Primary Production**: Converts solar energy into chemical energy - **Oxygen Production**: Releases oxygen as a byproduct - **Food Web Foundation**: Provides energy for all other organisms - **Carbon Cycle**: Removes CO2 from atmosphere ## Factors Affecting Photosynthesis - Light intensity - CO2 concentration - Temperature - Water availability ## Adaptations for Photosynthesis - Leaf structure - Stomata - C4 and CAM pathways ## Exam Questions 1. Explain the two main stages of photosynthesis. 2. How does photosynthesis impact the carbon cycle? 3. Compare and contrast C3, C4, and CAM photosynthesis. 4. Describe the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis.
