Put the following Steps to Photosynthesis in Order



Steps of Photosynthesis

Cut the following steps into strips. Put the following Steps to Photosynthesis in Order on a separate piece of paper. Somewhere in the list is the purpose of photosynthesis. Be sure to identify it and put it at the top of your list next to the hand-written words “Purpose of photosynthesis.” On the diagram, fill in the missing terms. Add the diagram to the bottom of your paper.

Oxygen (O2) is released into the atmosphere.

In the stroma of the chloroplast, ATP and NADPH provide the energy to form glucose from CO2.

When chlorophyll molecules absorb the energy from light, electrons are lost from the chlorophyll.

CO2 is taken into the stroma of the chloroplast.

The cycle begins again...

The way in which plants and other autotrophs convert solar energy into chemical energy.

Light hits a thylakoid within a chloroplast.

Electron transport chains transport the electrons from the reaction center chlorophyll (and the energy they carry) to make ATP and NADPH.

Water molecules are split into H+ ions, electrons, and O2 molecules.

Light energy causes the electrons in the chlorophyll to become excited.

Electrons from water replace the ones lost by chlorophyll. H+ ions go to NADP+ to make NADPH.

Electrons carrying the energy from light pass to a region called the reaction center in a group of chlorophyll molecules called a Photosystem.
