Biology Wise: Accessory Pigments

For this biology worksheet, students read about the mechanism of photosynthesis to answer 43 short answer questions. They explain the role of chloroplasts in the process.

This relatively short PowerPoint contains all of the information necessary to give a clear summary of Photosynthesis. There are a few illustrations and clear descriptions of each stage of the main reactions.

If you need summary notes for independent study, or a Powerpoint to review as a class, then these slides will fit your need. There are really great, quite detailed, diagrams and some slides to summarize the 2 stages of reactions in...

Explains what chlorophyll is, its function, and its chemical structure.

Explains how chloroplasts evolved into their present form, how photosynthesis takes place in them, where they are found in plants, physical characteristics, and other functions they perform.

Presents four simple techniques for extracting chlorophyll from leaves.

Describes the two types of chlorophyll, how they differ, and how they both take part in photosynthesis.
