Energy in the Cell In the cell, different structures and processes - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Energy in the Cell In the cell, different structures and processes exist for the Production of Energy Storage of Energy Release of Energy Cells use energy for Homeostasis Movement and Feeding Cell Division Enzyme Production Cell organelles involves in energy include: Nucleus – Operation of the Cell Chloroplast – Energy production Mitochondria – Energy production Lysosome – Digestion Vacuole – Storage

We call this photosynthesis

General Overview Sunlight 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Chlorophyll Plants, algae, & some bacteria  Plants and algae – Chloroplast  Bacteria – Cytoplasm

Light Dependent Light Independent Reaction Reaction Requires Sunlight Does not require sunlight Produces oxygen gas Consumes carbon dioxide Produces material Produces energy needed for Light molecules that will be Independent Reaction converted to sugars in the plant Take place in thylakoids Take place in stroma of in chloroplast chloroplast
