Science Class Notes

I. Key Concepts

• Definition of Photosynthesis

• Chlorophyll and its role in capturing sunlight

• The processes of Light-dependent and Light-independent reactions

• Importance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem

III. Examples

An example of photosynthesis is the process by which plants like sunflowers convert water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight into glucose and oxygen.

IV. Summary

Photosynthesis is a critical process conducted by plants, algae, and some bacteria, allowing them to produce energy in the form of glucose. It involves capturing sunlight using chlorophyll and converting water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen through two key stages: light-dependent and light-independent reactions.

V. Questions or Clarifications

• How do different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis?

• What is the significance of the Calvin cycle in the process?
