What is photosynthesis??
Photosynthesis is one of the processes of life.
It is catalysed by enzymes and takes place inside plant
cells and some microorganisms such as phytoplankton.
These cells have specialised structures to carry out
photosynthesis.
Glucose made in photosynthesis is made into other
molecules.

11. IB4.4.4 Energy from the Sun
Light from the Sun takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
A green plant takes only a few seconds to capture part
of this energy and store it as chemical energy, in a
process called photosynthesis.
The word equation for photosynthesis is:
light energy
carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen
chlorophyll

On land, tropical rainforests capture more energy than
any other ecosystem.

13. IB4.4.4 Energy from the Sun
Photosynthesis also happens in the oceans.
Around half the light energy living things use is
harvested by phytoplankton.

The red and green areas show most phytoplankton
growing around continental shelves.

Homework
Create a mind map from the notes made
in the lesson that starts with the word
photosynthesis in the middle of the page.
The map should show your knowledge of
photosynthesis
In for next lesson

Notas do Editor A temperature map of the Sun's corona as recorded by the EIT instrument on SOHO Until now, scientists have only had a continuous record of photosynthesis on land. But following three years of continual data collected by the SeaWiFS instrument, NASA has gathered the first record of photosynthetic productivity in the oceans. By taking three years of continuous data as a whole, experts have been able to map trends and anomalies in the global circulation of carbon to a degree of detail than has never been done before. It is a baseline measurement to by which all future measurements will be compared. The SeaWiFS instrument looks at the world oceans and land to observe the plant life and phytoplankton.
