Understanding Photosynthesis: Energy Conversion and Carbon Fixation Mechanisms

Explore the fascinating processes of photosynthesis that provide energy for life on Earth. Discover how autotrophs, such as plants and algae, trap sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through light and dark reactions. Learn about key components like chlorophyll, ATP, and the Calvin Cycle, which play crucial roles in carbon fixation. Unravel the pathways of energy transformation, including the differences between C3, C4, and CAM plants, and understand the importance of chloroplast structures in these processes.

  10. Organisms such as plants and algae that can trap energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy

  11. What are autotrophs?

  12. Type of chemical energy made during photosynthesis and used by all cells

  13. What is ATP?

  14. Type of chlorophyll that absorbs light energy in the range of 650 nm wavelength

  15. What is chlorophyll a?

  16. Photosynthesis is this type of Energy reaction
