Activity 5: Photosynthesis After learning about photosynthesis, write an essay in which you will describe the major steps in photosynthesis. Support your discussion with evidences from videos, articles and scientists' excerpts found online. You need to include one piece of evidence from each source provided. Checklist: (These need to be included in your essay) • Reactants • Products • Photosynthesis equation • Site of photosynthesis (what organelle is this occurring in?) Use the following format in your essay when introducing a new claim. Remember you need to include evidence to support your claim along with reasoning its use. Claim: Evidence: Source of evidence: Reasoning (why the evidence supports the claim) Example: During photosynthesis oxygen is produced as well as sugar. A piece of evidence that supports this claim is when a plant is given the starch test and it turns purple. The reason this is evidence is that iodine turns a leaf purple only when it has starch, which is a form of sugar. One of the requirements for photosynthesis is light. Minute 2:21 (Khan Academy) states "light is necessary for photosynthesis to occur." Light is necessary in photosynthesis because it provides the chloroplast the energy needed for the chemical reactions. INTRODUCTION WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND THE READER?
