How does the role of chlorophyll compare with those of CO2 and H2O?

Chlorophyll is the compound that captures energy from the sun. CO2 is split into one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms (oxygen leaves the plants via the stomata and play no further role in photosynthesis). The carbon atom is used in the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) to form glucose, a simple sugar that is crucial as an energy source. H2O is split during the light-dependent reaction to form 2H+ ions and one oxygen molecule (the oxygen leaves the plants via the stomata and play no further role in photosynthesis). The H+ ions diffuse from the thylakoid into the stroma through an enzyme called ATP synthase. When the ions travel through this enzyme, ATP synthase adds a phosphate group to ADP, thus forming ATP (which is an energy source during the Calvin Cycle).

∙ 12y agoChlorophyll is just the stuff in the chloroplasts that gives some plants its green color. Carbon dioxide and H2O are the products of photosyntheses which means plants use these plus sunlight to create sugar and O2

How does H2O and CO2 compare?
H2O has two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom. H2O is really H2O1. CO2 has one Carbon atom and two Oxygen atoms. CO2 is really C1O2.
What role of potassium hydroxide in a volumeter in respiration experiment?
It absorbs CO2
CO2 fixed into four carbon compounds?
C4 pathways has enzymes that can fix CO2 into 4 Carbon compounds even when the CO2 is low and the O2 is high. Those 4 Carbon compounds are then transported to other cells where the CO2 is released and enters the Calvin Cycle.
Balance CH4 plus O2 yield CO2 plus H2O?
Ch4 + 2o2 -> co2 + 2h2o This site is " making capitalization corrections " again. Those letters are all capitals.
Is carbon dioxide important for humans?
though not directly but what we exhale is carbon dioxide and plants need it for making their food plants take in co2 and with the help of chlorophyll and sunlight they make their food in forms of proteins etc etc. so its important but its also important that we keep balance on the co2 levels in atmosphere otherwise it will just bring doom to earth.
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
Describe the role of chlorophylls in the biochemical pathways of phathways of photosynthesis?
The role of chlorophylls in the biochemical pathways of photosynthesis is to absorb sunlight. This is then converted into the energy needed for the manufacture of food.
What is the role of H in photosynthesis Short answer (ex chlorophyll absorbs light) preferred?
In short, it is used in the Calvin-cycle to reduce CO2 into a sugar.
What is the equation of the process of photosynthesis?
CO2-H2O-C6H12O6-light\chlorophyll-O2
What is chemical equation process of the photosynthesis?
CO2-H2O-C6H12O6-light\chlorophyll-O2
What is the role of water in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis splits water to liberate O2 and fixes CO2 into sugar Water is split to have it's electrons replace the excited electron of chlorophyll the enters photosystem II.
How will chlorophyll affect photosynthesis?
It does not affect. It is carrying out the process, water+light+CO2 --->glucose+O2.
What causes the production of food using light?
It is called photosynthesis. Chlorophyll,water,CO2 are needed
What are the requirements of photosynthesis aside from light energy?
Carbandioxide, water and chlorophyll is required.
What is the basic role of CO2 in photosynthesis?
CO2 is fixed or incorporated into organic molecules.
What items are necessary for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll pigments are needed with enzymes. Water and CO2 needed as raw materials.
What does chorplast do for the cell job?
contains chlorophyll which does photosynthesis i.e. making energy from CO2 & water using light
