TEK 9B: Cellular Processes

Photosynthesis: The process by which green plants and
other organisms use light to synthesize foods (such as
glucose) from carbon dioxide and water.


6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Photosynthesis

Occurs in chloroplast in only plant cells

Used for growth in plants

Converts light energy from the sun into chemical
energy, which is stored in glucose.

One of the most important processes in Earth because it
releases oxygen, which is needed for humans and other
animals to survive.
Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is the process that generates most
of the energy that our cells use. It breaks down
glucose in the presence of oxygen to create carbon
dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.


C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Cellular Respiration

Occurs in the mitochondria in both plant and animal
cells in the presence of oxygen (called aerobic cellular
respiration).

Creates energy used in cellular processes.

Releases the chemical energy that is stored in glucose.
Cellular Processes

Photosynthesis and Cellular
Respiration are related:

The products of cellular
respiration are the reactants of
photosynthesis and vice versa.
TEK 10B: Interactions with plant systems

There are 3 plant systems:

1. Response system

2. Vascular system

3. Reproductive system
Response system

Plants react to 3 different stimuli:

Phototropism

Response to light
Thigmotrapism
Response to touch
Geotropism
Response to gravity
Vascular system

Vascular System: The way plants transport water and nutrients
from one part of the plant to the other parts. It is also known as
the transport system.

2 types of vascular tissue:
 1.
Xylem: Transports water and solutes from the roots UP to the
leaves.
 2.
Phloem: Transports glucose/nutrients from the leaves DOWN
to the rest of the plant.
Reproductive system – plants pollinize,
fertilize, & reproduce
