AP Biology
Remember what it means to be a plant…
ƒ Need to produce all organic molecules
necessary for growth
‹
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
ƒ Need to store chemical energy (ATP)
Photosynthesis:
The Calvin Cycle
Life from Air
produced from light reactions
in a more stable form
can be moved around plant

ƒ Convert solar energy to chemical
energy
carbon + water + energy → glucose + oxygen
dioxide
light
C H O + 6O2
AP Biology6CO2 + 6H2O +
energy → 6 12 6
How is that helpful?
ƒ Want to make C6H12O6
synthesis
‹ How? From what?
What raw materials are available?
‹
ATP
‹
ATP → energy
‹
NADPH → reducing power
CO2
ƒ What can we do now?
→ → build stuff !!

ƒ Reduction of CO2 → C6H12O6 proceeds in
many small uphill steps

ƒ On global scale,
photosynthesis is the
most important process
for the continuation of life on Earth
‹
ƒ captures 121 billion tons of CO2

If plants can do it…
You can learn it!

All the solid material of every animal

food source for fuel & raw materials

are really particles of air woven
