The general Process
• Step One- absorb sunlight• Step Two- turn sunlight into usable energy• Step Three- Use energy to produce
biomolecules

Photosynthesis Step One
![Page 10: Photosynthesis. Why is it important to the plant?](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032709/56649ed05503460f94bddde7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types of Pigments
• Chlorophyll- C55H72O5N4Mg- green• Xanthophylls- yellow• Carotenoids- yellow/orange• Anthocyanins- red

Look at Leaf Chromatography
• Put yourself into groups based on the color of your original leaf
• What do you all have in common? • Discuss and write the colors present on your
chromatography slip

Analysis Questions
• What pigment is missing when leaves change colors?
• Why do leaves have more than one pigment?• What colors are most useful for plants?• Why do you think leaves change colors?

Why Leaves Change Colors

How These Pigments Start Photosynthesis
• Step One: light absorption – Where does this process take place– What is occurring in this process– What role do the pigments play
