What is a light-dependent process conducted by green plants but not by animals?

The light-dependant process is called 'Photosynthesis', the chlorophyll in plants absorbs sunlight and uses it in combination with carbon dioxide, to produce glucose for energy.


What is the difference between the function of respiration and photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis produce glucose using light energy. This glucose is burnt by respiratrion to release energy.


In the process of photosynthesis chlorophyll serves as?

Chlorophyll absorbs the light from the sun to produce chemical energy


Does chlorophyll absorb or transmit green light?

Chlorophyll will absorb visible light from any source not just the Sun. It absorbs light across the entire visible spectrum, except the colors immediately in the vicinity of green which it reflects.


Can produce energy?

Plants do produce energy.Photosynthesis is the process of using photons of light to produce glucose, the plant's energy source.how can it prouce energy tell the steps to understand it u noob.


Which of these is a rectant in photosynthesis?

CO2+H20 are the reactants, with the help of light energy these will produce glucose and oxygen.


Why do plants grow to the light?

Plants phtosynthesise to produce energy. Photosynthesis involves turning light energy into chemical energy (glucose) so plants grow towards light so that they can absorb more light and therefore produce more energy that they use to grow etc.


When chlorophyll absorbs engery where does it go?

iy is happening intheabsorbing center.Chlorophyll absorb sun light.


What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to "synthesise" carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O


Do mitochondria produce food from sunlight?

No, mitochondria are not photoreactive. It is the chlorophyll in chloroplasts that allows them to use light energy. Mitochondria do not have anything in them to do this. Instead, they make energy by breaking apart glucose.They use light energy indirectly.They use glucose as the fuel. Glucose contain energy from sun light


How do chloroplasts affect the functions of a animal cell?

it absorbs light for the plant c i dont get it ell and helps it do photosynthesis


What organ produces glucose?

Most, if not all, organisms can produce glucose. Humans and other animals can produce glucose when necessary from other carbohydrates and intermediates (such as glycogen, lactate and pyruvate). This requires, at some point, consumption of autotrophs, to provide the energy and carbon required to produce glucose. Autotrophs can produce glucose (directly or indirectly) from inorganic molecules (i.e., not from eating other organisms). Photosynthetic organisms (photoautotrophs) are autotrophs that specifically produce glucose from light energy. This includes plants, algae and some bacteria (e.g. cyanobacteria).
