8-2 Photosynthesis

Key Concepts:

–What did the experiments of van Helmont, Priestley, and Ingenhousz reveal about how plants grow?

–What is the overall reaction for photosynthesis?

–What is the role of light and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Vocabulary:

–Photosynthesis

–Pigment

–chlorophyll

Photosynthesis:

–Plants use the ______to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high energy carbohydrates (sugars and starches).

H2O + CO2 + (Sunlight & Chlorophyll) O2 + C6H12O6 (glucose)

SCIENCE HISTORY…

3 different scientists helped identify the parts of the photosynthesis equation

–Van Helmont

–Priestley

–Ingenhousz

The Von Helmont Problem

QUESTION: ______

______

•He put a 5 lb. willow tree in 200 lbs. of soil. The tree received only rainwater for five years.

•After 5 years, Von Helmont found that the soil only weighed a little bit less than when the experiment began.

•The willow tree now weighed 169 lbs. 3 oz.

What did Helmont conclude was responsible for most of the tree weight gain?

______

Is this the only thing responsible?

______

Joseph Priestley

In 1772 another Englishman, Joseph Priestly reported the results of an important experiment.

He found that a piece of a plant would not die when placed in air that had been “spent” (used) by burning a candle in it.

In such air the plant would grow and the air would then, to his astonishment, again support a candle flame.

Priestly inferred that the mint produced a substance that was required for burning.

What is that substance? ______

J. Ingenhousz

The Dutch physician, Jan Ingenhousz, published Experiments on Vegetables, which supplied experimental evidence stating that the effect observed by Priestly occurred only in sunlight.

He showed that only the ______, especially the leaves, have this capacity.

6H2O + 6CO2 ------> C6H12O6+ 6O2

•Photosynthesis uses the ______to convert

______and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high energy ______

•C6H12O6 = ______

•Plants use the sugars to produce complex ______such as starches.

Light & Pigment

White light is actually a mixture of different

______of light.

Plants gather the sun’s energy with light

absorbing molecules called ______

The plant’s principle pigment is ______

–Plants also contain red and orange pigments such as carotene which absorbs light in other areas of the spectrum.

Energy absorbed by chlorophyll is transferred directly to electrons in the chlorophyll molecule. These

______make photosynthesis work.

So why are leaves green?

•Look at the wavelengths of light that chlorophyll absorbs & uses in photosynthesis

•The colors that are left are ______and that is what you see.

What is the reaction for photosynthesis?

What were the conclusions of the three scientists that contributed to the process of photosynthesis?

1. ______

______

______

2. ______

______

______

3. ______

______

______

Why are leaves green? (use the words: chlorophyll and wavelengths in your answer)

______

______

______

______

______
