Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To describe: The experiments that support our understanding of photosynthesis.
Introduction: A plant is a multicellular organism in the kingdom Plantae. It uses photosynthesis to make its own food. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. Chlorophyll a is the primary pigment for the process of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis
In 1770, Joseph Priestley performed a series of experiments to determine the
reactants and products of photosynthesis. The diagram below shows the
experimental conditions and results of two experiments performed by Priestley,
named here as Experiment 1 and Experiment 2. From his experiments, Priestley
concluded that plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and candles
remove.
Joseph Priestly Photosynthesis Experiments and Results
Experiment
Results:
- candle extinguished (went out)
1
- mouse died
Experiment
2
Results:
candle continued to burn
mouse stayed alive
Note: Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 were both performed in the presence of
sunlight.
The substance produced by the plant in Experiment 2, that keeps the candle
burning and the mouse alive is
O CO2
O 02
O H2O
O C6H1206

- Q)Start with a photon of sunlight and a carbon atom in a molecule of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: model/diagram their pathway from that starting point to their final destination as a glucose molecule that is used for energy in a cell in the plant root. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what your diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the movement of mass and energy in plants. NOTE- include the steps of photosynthesis (light-dependent reactions, ETC, Calvin cycle) and the inputs and outputs at each. Then, need to explain how sugar gets transported from the leaf to be used in cell respiration in the root.
