In p lant leaves, you find me in blobs (or organelles) called chloroplasts-tiny factories producing the food that plants need in order to grow and develop. The key is a chemical reaction called photosynthesis: Water is taken up through the roots and Carbon Dioxide from the air, before they are converted into Oxygen and sugar-food (glucose, a kind of carbohydrate) in the presence of light. My ability to absorb light is what makes the reaction run so smoothly. You see me as green because I absorb the b lue and red frequencies of the visible light spectrum and reflect the green-leaves turn yellow when I break down in the fall. Plants are a food source for most living things. So it 's only fair to say that I feed the world! • Chlorophyll "a" formula: C55H72MgN,O5 e Size of chloroplast: 0.0004 in. x 0.00012 in. • Used as a food coloring (such as in pasta) EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY Writing about the Journey• Write a 1st person narrative or graphic novel.• Pick one of the main characters in photosynthesis or cellular respiration.– Oxygen, carbon dioxide, energy, water, glucose…• What is the setting of the action?• What is the plot?Chlorophyll EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY High SchoolNGSS & Common Core IntegrationNGSS Common Core HS-LS1-5.
