Photosynthesis

We can observe photosynthesis using a simple experiment. Photosynthesis is a chemical process. Because this process takes place at the level of molecules and atoms, we cannot observe it directly. However, we can observe the results of photosynthesis.

Joseph Priestley was one of the first scientists to observe a product of photosynthesis. He ran an experiment in which he placed a burning candle and a mouse under a glass dome. After a few minutes the flame went out. Priestley showed that the gases in this dome could not keep the mouse alive. However, if the experiment was repeated with a plant present under the dome, the mouse remained alive. What change had the plant made to the dome?

The plant replaced the oxygen that had been used up by the burning candle. Oxygen is a colorless, odorless gas that humans cannot observe directly. However, its presence is required for animals such as mice to live. Priestley demonstrated that the plant could produce oxygen. Oxygen is one of the products of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis involves three elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. You have seen that the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. Their chemical formulas are shown below. What elements make up these molecules?

The process of photosynthesis is actually a complex series of many different chemical reactions. The equation shown above represents the overall reaction. Only the beginning and ending chemical compounds are shown in this equation. There are many more steps in between.

Only three elements are present in the products of photosynthesis: oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. These same elements are present in the reactants of photosynthesis.

Products of Photosynthesis Name: Oxygen Glucose Chemical formula:

O 2 C 6 H 12 O 6

Reactants of Photosynthesis Name: Water Carbon dioxide

Chemical formula:

H 2 O CO 2

Photosynthesis involves water and carbon dioxide reacting to form oxygen and glucose. The chemical equation showing this process is: Radiant energy 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 6O 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6

Notice that it takes six molecules of water and six molecules of carbon dioxide to make one molecule of glucose.

The inputs and outputs of photosynthesis are shown in the diagram at right. Carbon dioxide in the air enters a plant through its leaves. Water in the soil enters through a plant’s roots. Oxygen exits from the leaves. Glucose stays behind to serve as the plant’s food.

Photosynthesis

These fuels would not contain glucose, but they would contain other carbon-containing compounds. Such biofuels have been produced from corn, sugar cane, soybeans, and sunflowers.

To make biofuel from cyanobacteria is not hard to do. However, the process is expensive. Right now it costs too much to develop biofuel from the strains of cyanobacteria available. Each cell produces a very small amount of the compounds that serve as the raw material for biofuel production. It is also costly to provide the large quantities of water needed to grow the microorganisms. In all, the cost of making the biofuel is greater than the price at which the fuel can be sold. Much research is being done to find ways to bring costs down so that the process is economical.

What do you know?

Photosynthesis (A) Matter and Energy

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that occurs in plants by using radiant energy from sunlight. In this chemical reaction, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil are combined to produce sugar (glucose) that contains stored chemical energy.

A science class conducted an experiment to test the effects of artificial light on a plant’s rate of growth. All plants used for the experiment originally measured 5 cm in height. Throughout the three week experiment, each plant received the same amount of water and time under its assigned wattage of light each day.

Hypothesis: Plants exposed to brighter light will experience a higher rate of growth through photosynthesis than those exposed to dim light.
