Solar Radiation- Photon
Photosynthesis
• Organisms depend on solar radiation for
life-sustaining energy which is captured by
green plants, algae, and some bacteria
6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2
Photosynthesis
Solar Radiation
• 10 % Ultraviolet
• 45% infrared
• 45% Visible
ROY G. BIV
Chlorophyll
• A unique green molecule that can absorb
light energy and use it to create high
energy chemical bonds that serve as the
fuel for all subsequent cellular respiration
• Takes Place in the Chloroplast of the plant
cell
Why is Green the perfect color ?
Cellular Respiration
• The process of releasing chemical energy
• Takes place in the Mitochondria of the cell
Does Cellular Respiration occur in
plant cells?
