Energy in the Cell

In the cell, different structures and processes exist for the Production of Energy Storage of Energy Release of Energy Cells use energy for Homeostasis Movement and Feeding Cell Division Enzyme Production Cell organelles involves in energy include: Nucleus – Operation of the Cell Chloroplast – Energy production Mitochondria – Energy production Lysosome – Digestion Vacuole – Storage

We call this photosynthesis

General Overview

6 CO2 + 6 H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Sunlight Chlorophyll Plants, algae, & some bacteria  Plants and algae – Chloroplast  Bacteria – Cytoplasm

Light Dependent Reaction Light Independent Reaction Requires Sunlight Does not require sunlight Produces oxygen gas Consumes carbon dioxide Produces material needed for Light Independent Reaction Produces energy molecules that will be converted to sugars in the plant Take place in thylakoids in chloroplast Take place in stroma of chloroplast
