2.19 Lesson: Chloroplasts

Notice that the products (what is produced) of photosynthesis are the reactants (what is needed) of cellular repiration

Notice also that the products of cellular respiration are the reactants of photosynthesis

is the process used by plants to turn the energy from the sun into glucose

Glucose is a carbohydrate

occurs in the chloroplasts of leaves

Thylakoids are flat sacks inside the chloroplast

The Stroma is the liquid that surrounds the thylakoids

A stack of thylakoids is called a granum

The Light Dependent Reactions

The Light Independent Reactions of the Calvin Cycle

occurs in the thylakoids

Uses Sunlight and water

Produces Oxygen and ATP

occurs in the stroma

Uses carbojn dioxide and ATP

Produces Glucose
