Introduction:
Teacher’s Action Student’s Action

1. What is nutrient? A substance that provides

essential nourishment for
growth.
2. Tell the modes of
nutrients in plants? Two types.
 Autotrophic
 Heterotrophic nutrition

3. What do you know about

autotrophic nutrients? Nutrition in which organism
make their own food.
4. What do you know about
hetrophic nutrition? Nutrition in which organism take
5. What is the food factory food from others.
of plants? No response.
Presentation:
Tell the students definition of Photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms
transform light energy into chemical energy.
During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert
water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

7 steps of Photosynthesis:
  Step 1-Light Dependent. CO2 and H2O enter the leaf.
 Step 2- Light Dependent. Light hits the pigment in the membrane
of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2.
 Step 3- Light Dependent. The electrons move down to enzymes.
 Step 4-Light Dependent. ...
 Step 5-Light independent. ...
 Step 6-Light independent. ...
 Step 7-calvin cycle.

Formula:
The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 +
6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and
six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied
by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
Reasons Why Photosynthesis Is Important

 It is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere.

 It contributes to the carbon cycle between the earth, the oceans, plants and
animals.
 It contributes to the symbiotic relationship between plants, humans and
animals.
 It directly or indirectly affects most life on Earth.
 It serves as the primary energy process for most trees and plants.

Tell the students that how Photosynthesis works.

Photosynthesis uses light energy from the sun and carbon dioxide and
water in the atmosphere to make food for plants, trees, algae and ev
en some bacteria. It releases oxygen as a byproduct. The chlorophyll
in these living organisms, which also contributes to their green hue
s, absorbs the sunlight and combines it with carbon dioxide to conve
rt these compounds into an organic chemical called adenosine triphos
phate (ATP). ATP is crucial in the relationship between energy and l
iving things, and is known as the "energy currency for all life."
Evaluation:
Evaluate whole the lesson with some questions.

 Tell any two steps of Photosynthesis?

 Why do organisms need to take food?

 Give a brief description of photosynthesis process?

Homework:
 Show with the help of a sketch that the plants are the ultimate source of food.
 Write the formula of photosynthesis in your notebooks.
