Many enzyme NAMES end in _____

DNA Polymerase= “polymerizes”
joins monomers to make DNA
Protease=

ATP synthase= synthesizes ATP
Research into PHOTOSYNTHESIS
began centuries ago with this
simple question:
When a tiny seed grows into a
huge plant, where does all the
“new plant” come from?

EXPERIMENTS TO FIND OUT
In 1643a Belgian physician
Jan van Helmont
___________________
determined
the mass of a pot of dry soil
and a small seedling.
Then he planted the seedling in the pot and watered
had
it regularly. At the end of 5 years the seedling
_____________
gained
__________about
75 kg, but the mass of the
_________
was almost ________________.
soil
unchanged
He decided the “increase in plant” had to come from
the ________…
WATER that was the only thing he had added!

EXPERIMENTS TO FIND OUT
Van Helmont didn’t realize
the major contribution to
the mass of his tree
was something he
couldn’t see…

If he placed a __________
jar and allowed a few days to
pass, the candle could be lit again.
The plant produced something
“required for burning” that the candle used up

EXPERIMENTS TO FIND OUT
1779Jan Ingenhousz

1961- American chemist
Melvin Calvin

received the Nobel prize for
figuring out the

THE BIG PICTURE
These experiments led to work by later
scientists who finally discovered that in the
presence of light, plants transform CO2 and water
into carbohydrates and release oxygen.

Visible light is made up of many different
_______________of light
wavelengths
Your eyes “see”
different sizes of
waves as different
___________
colors
http://www.simontucket.com/_Portfolio/PortLarge/L_Il_Prism.jpg
Myth:
Many people think that plants are
green because they absorb and use
green light in photosynthesis,
BUT . . . .
Image from: http://oogletutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/photoshop-lesson-green-leaf-design26.gif
BUT… We “see” reflected light
REFLECTED
Light wavelengths that are ___________
off of objects bounce back to our eyes .
COLOR
That is the ___________
we “see”
Image modified from: http://www.visibledreams.net/Web/color/color_3.html
This book “looks BLUE” because the dye in
this cover _______________
of the
absorbs ALL
except
wavelengths of light _________
blue.
BLUE light is
_______
____________
reflected to your eyes and it
looks BLUE
http://www.michaelhyatt.com/fromwhereisit/bluebook.jpg
The dye in this T shirt absorbs all of the

colors __________________________
Red wavelengths are

shirt looks RED
http://jacksbear.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9
GO CATS!
Objects “look BLACK” because black
dye ________________
absorbs ALLof the
wavelengths of light.
When wavelengths are absorbed so is
ENERGY
the_____________
of the wave.
That is why wearing a black
T-shirt in the summer feels
warmer than wearing
a white t-shirt.
http://www.eventsonline.ca/events/vowsa/black_shirt.jpg
http://www.hotstuffspas.com/pools_files/sunanim.gif
The dye in white objects
_____________
REFLECTS ALL
of the wavelengths of light.
_______
LITTLE energy is ABSORBED
so wearing white
clothing is “cooler”.

Which wavelengths of light are these
Flowers REFLECTING?

yellow
Which wavelengths of light do
these LEAVES reflect?
green
So green leaves
____________
the
REFLECT
green wavelength
of light.

Plants gather the sun’s energy
with light absorbing molecules
pigments
called ___________.
By: VanderWal
http://www.russianflora.com/store/images/product/custom_green_plant_35.jpg
The main energy
absorbing molecule
in green plants is
CHLOROPHYLL
___________________
CAROTENOIDS

are plant pigments too.
(These look yellow,
orange, and red)
http://www.rnzih.org.nz/images/gardenimages/carrots_d.jpg
GREEN leaves have BOTH chlorophyll
AND carotenoids
ALL THE TIME

but the huge amount of chlorophyll
______
hides
the other colors and
leaves usually
look green
FALL chlorophyll production
In ______,
slows as the trees shut down and
photosynthesis stops for winter.
http://sps.k12.ar.us/massengale/ecology_notes_bi.htm
Then we can see the
carotinoid colors that are
HIDDEN by chlorophyll
usually _______

That’s why leaves LOOK
GREEN…..
Chlorophyll doesn’t absorb….
it ___________
REFLECTS GREEN light!
That’s why plant have other pigments
ABSORB
(like carotenoids). They help _________
some wavelengths chlorophyll DOESN’T

Because light is a
form of ___________,
ENERGY
any molecule that
absorbs light also
ABSORBS
___________the
energy from the light.
ENERGY & ELECTRONS

absorbs light, the
energy is transferred
to electrons in the
chlorophyll molecule.
