Hydrothermal Vent

Bacteria that live near hydrothermal vents

Tubeworm that lives near the hydrothermal vent• Tubeworm with a symbiotic relationship with bacteria

Nutrition!What is nutrition??

How organisms obtain and process food!Life function!

What is nutrition needed for?

• 1. energy• 2. growth• 3. repair• 4. regulation

Two types of nutrition!

• Autotrophic nutrition-• When an organism can manufacture

organic compounds from inorganic raw materials.

• AUTOTROPH=ORGANISM THAT CAN MAKE IT’S OWN FOOD. • EX. PLANTS, ALGAE

Continue…

• Heterotrophic nutrition – the organism that cannot make organic compounds from inorganic raw materials

• HETEROTROPHS = organisms that can NOT make their own food.

Nutrition in Plants!

• How do plants get their nutrition???

• PHOTOSYNTHESIS!!!!

• What is that???

• This is the process plants use in order to make their own food!!! Therefore, they are autotrophs!!

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

• Plants need:• Sunlight• Water• Carbon dioxide

• Photosynthesis is the process by which the energy of light is converted to the chemical bond energy of organic compounds

Basic Photosynthesis!

• Are all the raw materials present?

Photosynthesis occurs in two parts!

• 1. Light reaction (photochemical rxn.)• Occurs in the grana of the chloroplast

• 2. Dark Reaction (carbon fixation)• Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast

Do you recognize the process?

• What is given off?• What is made?

This is a chloroplast

• Can you recognize any of the parts?

• Can you locate the stroma and grana?

Another view of Photosynthesis

• Does the dark reaction require the direct sunlight?

General formula forPhotosynthesis

• 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2

Can you explain what is happening?

• Do you see the two reactions?

Vascular Plants - although some photosynthesis occurs in the stems of vascular plants, the organs most highly adapted for this process are the LEAVES

The Leaf

What is this?

• Guess?

This is what a leaf looks like under the microscope

• Can you identify the parts?

Can you identify all the parts of the leaf?
