Photoreceptors allow light to be converted into signals that allow for biological processes. They are essential for the process known as photosynthesis. Photoreception occurs under light conditions when the photoreceptors absorb photons.

True or false The light reactions of photosynthesis can occur only under light conditions and the dark reactions can occur only during the dark hours?

False. The light reactions of photosynthesis require light to convert solar energy into chemical energy, while the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) do not directly rely on light and can occur in both light and dark conditions. However, the dark reactions are indirectly dependent on the products of the light reactions.

What environmental conditions help photorespiration?

High temperatures and bright light conditions can both promote photorespiration. This process is more likely to occur when there is an excess of oxygen compared to carbon dioxide in the plant cells, which can happen under conditions of high light intensity and high temperatures.

What is a bioluminescent light?

Bioluminescent chemicals are organic molecules that emit light (photons) under specific conditions that occur in the originating animal's natural habitat. Examples of this include the firefly/lightning bug in the United States and many organisms that reside in the deep ocean.
