On Whiteboard:Write down the 4 ingredients for photosynthesis (that are included in the equation)

Then use those ingredients to help you write out the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis.

Title slide (name of your recipe or recipes) Photosynthesis ingredients and steps Cell Respiration ingredients and steps Paragraph explaining your reasoning for

ingredient choices and steps- now an essay see last slide of this powerpoint!

MINIMUM OF FOUR SLIDES (using above format)

With Chef Donald Tran

Photosynthesis: The production of sugars (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight as the source of energy and with the aid of chlorophyll.

Energy Transformation:◦ Electromagnetic energy (sunlight) is converted to

Chemical energy (sugar)

THE INGREDIENTS Light Energy (1000 joules)– from the sun Water (6 cups) – gathered by the roots

from soil Carbon dioxide (6 cubic feet)– from the air Chlorophyll (to taste) – found in the cells

of green plants

THE PROCESSStep 1: Add some chlorophyll from the

cells of plants to absorb light from the sun

Step 2: Add the water so that the sun’s light energy can split the water

into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen

Step 3: Allow the mixture to sit so that the hydrogen joins with carbon dioxide to make sugar (glucose).

Step 4: Cool overnight until the extra oxygen is released.

Cell Respiration: The production of ATP from ADP using oxygen from breathing and sugar (glucose) from eating with the aid of the cell organelle mitochondria.

Energy Transformation:◦ Chemical energy (sugar) is converted to

Mechanical energy (cell processes = work)

THE INGREDIENTS Chemical Energy (1 ounce) – from the

sugar in the foods we eat Oxygen (6 gallons)– taken in through the

lungs ADP (to taste)- natural A-P-P Mitochondria (5-10 tablespoons)–

organelles found in the cells of all living organisms (“powerhouse of the cell”)

THE PROCESS

Step 1: Blend food until it gets broken down to just sugars (glucose)

Step 2: Quickly add oxygen from the lungs and transfer to a bowl containing mitochondria

Step 3: ADP is added to the mix which is converted to ATP in the mitochondria

Step 4: The cells are full of ATP and are “charged” and ready to do work!

Instead of explaining your recipe, you must answer the following question to fulfill this requirement:◦ How can we explain the flow of energy through an

ecosystem by discussing photosynthesis and cellular respiration as reverse processes? (How does energy move from the sun to a tertiary consumer; through what process is energy stored/released again)
