Photosynthesis Study + Cellular Respiration Study Guide Photosynthesis - conversion of light energy to chemical energy (radiant energy to chemical ?bond energy?) Except for sulfur respiring bacteria and organisms in deep sea vent communities Every living organism on this planet gets its energy from the sun Reactants-carbon dioxide from the air and water from rain In the presence of light and chlorophyll(pigment) Products-free oxygen and a sugar Sugar produced is mostly not glucose Three carbon sugar(pgal) Used later to make glucose Sunlight is made up of all the different kinds of electromagnetic radiation(EMR) All EMR is the same except wavelength Arranged from shortest to longest in the EMR spectrum Short wavelengths have lots of energy and vice versa

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
