Lesson
Plant Structures used in
1 Photosynthesis

Huge varieties of plants were randomly scattered all over the land surface on
earth, even under water surfaces. Plants containing the green pigment perform
photosynthesis. Though there some, because of the absence of this green
pigment cannot photosynthesize their own food. These plants simply attach
themselves and feed from their host plant.

7
First, let us bring back your memories about your past lessons on plant parts
and its involvement in the process of food productions. These lessons might
have been encountered when you were still in the elementary and even during
your Grades 7 & 8 years.

 What’s New

Guess Where?
Can you guess where
these pictures were
taken?

What you can see on

the pictures on your
right is a typical set up
inside any grocery
stores in the city. Huge
variety of products, each
item in here can be linked back to photosynthesis. Many of these products found in the
grocery stores are less clearly derived from plants: for example, the toilet papers, soaps,
shampoos and many more can be derived from plants. Meat and dairy also can be
connected because almost all animals were fed plant-based foods. Cereals, breads and
pastas come from starchy grains, which are the seeds of photosynthesis-dependent
plants. Desserts and drinks too, because it contains sugar known as sucrose which is
a plant product. Desserts and drinks too, it contains sugar known as sucrose with
disaccharide and a carbohydrate molecule that is built directly from photosynthesis.
Spices and various condiments in the spice aisle were produced by a plant as a leaf,
root, bark, flower, fruit or stem. Eventually, photosynthesis connects to every single
meal and every food a person consumes.

Photosynthesis is the process that makes use of the energy coming from the sun. This
is a very important process since the beginning of time, were plants convert light energy
into chemical energy.

What is It

Plants are the only group of organisms in the living world, capable of supplying energy
for the other living things to survive. Living organisms cannot continue to do their
various activities without the energy that comes from the sun which is processed by the
leaf of the plant through photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves. It consists of several layers of cells.
Photosynthetic process occurs in a middle layer called the mesophyll. The gas exchange
of carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs through small, regulated openings called stomata
(singular: stoma), which also play roles in the regulation of gas exchange and water
balance. The stomata are typically located on the underside of the leaf, which helps to

9
minimize water loss. Each stoma is flanked by guard cells that regulate the opening and
closing of the stomata by swelling or shrinking in response to osmotic changes.
In all autotrophic organisms,
photosynthesis takes place inside an
organelle called a chloroplast. For
plants, chloroplast-containing cells
exist in the mesophyll. Chloroplasts
have a double membrane envelope
(composed of an outer membrane and
an inner membrane). Within the
chloroplast are stacked, disc-shaped
structures called thylakoids.
Embedded in the thylakoid membrane
is chlorophyll, a pigment
(molecule
[Link]/photosyn/[Link]#CHLOROPLAST that absorbs light)
responsible for the initial interaction
between light and plant material, and
numerous proteins that make up the electron transport chain. The thylakoid membrane
encloses an internal space called the thylakoid lumen. A stack of thylakoids is called a
granum, and the liquid-filled space surrounding the granum is called stroma or “bed”
(not to be confused with stoma or “mouth,” an opening on the leaf epidermis).

Lesson
Food Production
2
Similar to a factory, the leaves of all plants need raw materials to manufacture
its products. The raw materials needed to manufacture food are carbon dioxide
and water. With the presence of sunlight which is captured by the chlorophyll
inside the leaf, this provides the energy to combine carbon dioxide and water,
which lead to the production of glucose or sugar and oxygen.

10
 Sunlight
Oxygen

Sugars made

Carbon dioxide

Water

Since photosynthesis is a chemical process, this can be explained through the

equation below.

As a result, there are 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water to

form just one (1) molecule of sugar or glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen gas.
Glucose can be broken down to release energy; it is used for cell growth and
repair damage tissues. Another product of photosynthesis is oxygen which is
needed by all animals to survive.
There are 2 stages in photosynthesis – light reaction and dark reaction otherwise
known as carbon fixation. Light as a wave is used to increase the energy of
electron found in a molecule of chlorophyll during the light reaction. It separates
water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen will combine with an
enzyme known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or NADP that
will provide energy in the next stage. Upon the combination of NADP with

11
hydrogen, it will form NADPH. Oxygen will be released as a waste product of the
process. When the NADPH is formed, it will combine with carbon dioxide by
utilizing the energy produced during the light reaction. This process is called
carbon fixation or dark reaction (in the absence of light).

Lesson
Energy Production
3
Sugar is produced throughout the process of photosynthesis. Energy is
stored in the bonds of a sugar molecule. In order to use this energy, cells must
transfer the energy of sugar into adenosine triphosphate or ATP. The production
of ATP by breaking down sugar is called respiration.
Sugar (glucose) and oxygen which are the end products of photosynthesis
will now be the substrate or the reactants in respiration. Carbon dioxide and
water are produced and released as waste products. Respiration can be
described by the following equation:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 32 ATP (energy)
Notice that 1 molecule of sugar combines with 6 molecules of oxygen
produce energy, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water. Water
and carbon dioxide will become the waste products of respiration.

12
 Respiration takes place inside the mitochondria of the cell. Mitochondria
are known as the powerhouse of the cell. They have enzymes that can transfer
chemical energy from sugar to ATP.
There are two stages of cellular respiration – anaerobic which doesn’t
require oxygen and aerobic stage which requires oxygen.

Lesson
Photosynthesis vs.
4 Cellular Respiration

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two processes performed to

obtain energy from nature. These two processes complement each other in the
environment. They are the same reaction in reality but occurring in reverse.
Carbon dioxide and water reacts together and yield sugar (glucose) and oxygen
while in respiration process sugar and oxygen are used to yield carbon dioxide
and water.
Organisms like plants supply food to almost all living things on Earth. 90%
of oxygen in the atmosphere is from the photosynthetic activity of plants. Energy
is converted between different forms during photosynthesis and cellular
respiration.

13
 Photosynthesis

Respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 32 ATP (energy)
Though, there some differences in these two processes. Photosynthesis
generally needs light in order to produce sugar while respiration can occur
anytime of the day.
Furthermore, photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plant. There are also
other photosynthesizing organisms such as in some algae, and some bacteria.
Respiration, on the other hand, occurs in the mitochondria of a cell.
Photosynthesis uses light energy and transform it to chemical energy stored in
glucose/sugar, which in turn converted into ATP during respiration.

 Lesson Why is Photosynthesis and
Cellular Respiration
5 important?

Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are extremely important

biological processes needed by organism, to carry out their life process.
Photosynthesis and respiration are two processes very important to living
things. Photosynthesis is a process that needs light energy from the sun and can
only be performed by autotrophs and some animals that have photosynthetic
pigments. Heterotrophs depend on autotrophs for glucose to provide energy.
Photosynthesis is also largely responsible for producing and maintaining
the oxygen content of the earth’s atmosphere. It also supplies organic
compounds used to build the biological materials used by humans such as wood,
cotton and wool. It is the main process by which new energy becomes available
to life on Earth. It is also the source of energy stored in fossil fuels. Fossil fuels
usually result from the decomposition of buried organisms without oxygen.
Respiration is a process needed to convert glucose into usable energy.
Cells use ATP, which is a product of respiration. These processes are important
and essential in the conversion of energy that all living things depend on. Cellular
respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the
cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients to ATP. Cellular
respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular
activities. The chemical energy stored in ATP is used to drive processes requiring
energy including biosynthesis, locomotion or transport across cell membranes.

 What I Have Learned

Summary of Concepts
✓ Producers make their own food by using the process of photosynthesis.
This process needs light to combine water and carbon dioxide molecules
to produce sugar and oxygen.

✓ Photosynthesis happens in the green leaves of a plant. The chloroplast that

contains the green pigment known as chlorophyll captures light to be used
during the process.

✓ Stomata found on the underside of the leaf, are small openings where
materials enter (such as CO2) and leave (such as H2O and O2).

✓ During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide molecule combines with water

molecule with the help of light energy. The process will produce sugar and
oxygen.

 What I Can Do

Life Lesson
In this pandemic time, nature seems to have a reset --- factories temporarily
stopped its operation, vehicles’ exhaust emission were controlled due to
lockdown, and soil, water and air pollutants were minimized. In fact, clear skies
can already be seen in Metro Manila which, before the lockdown, smog was a
common scene in the skies.
How does this phenomenon (nature reset) affect the photosynthetic and
respiration process? Write your answer using your knowledge on photosynthesis
and respiration.
