Question

Big idea: plant cells and some algae contain an organelle called the chloroplast. The chloroplast allows plants to harvest energy from sunlight to carry on a process known as photosynthesis. Specialized pigments in the chloroplast (including the common green pigment chlorophyll) absorb sunlight and use this energy to combine carbon dioxide and water and make glucose and oxygen. The complete the chemical reaction for photosynthesis is: 6 co2 + 6 h2o + energy (from sunlight) c6h12o6 + 6 o2 in this way, plant cells manufacture glucose and other carbohydrates that they can store for later use. Plants use photosynthesis to create their own food and then use cellular respiration to turn their food into energy (atp!). Photosynthetic cells are found mainly in the leaves of plants and each cell may have thousands of chloroplasts. Questions: 1. What type of cells contains chloroplasts? 2. Are plants autotrophs or heterotrophs? 3. The food making process used by plants is called ___________________. 4. What are the reactants for photosynthesis? 5. What carbohydrate is produced? 6. What gas is a reactant? ________________a product? ________ 7. Where are most photosynthetic cells in plants found? 8. About how many chloroplasts can be found in each photosynthetic

Answer 1

Chloroplasts' main role is to conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight and converts it and stores it in the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water.
