What substance provides oxygen produced during photosynthesis?
Water, of course. Water undergoes photolysis in photosystem II and oxygen is a byproduct that is diffused out of leaves.
Is photosynthesis an organism?
Photosynthesis is not a organism. It is a process on plants. It provides energy for us.
Why does all life on earth depend upon metabolic diversity of prokaryotes?
Life on earth depend upon metabolic diversity of prokaryotes because Prokaryotic photosynthesis provides free oxygen in the atmosphere
What does photosynthesis turns into?
photosynthesis turns water into glucose, along with using carbon dioxide which provides the plant with food.
What is the name of the biological process that converts solar energy to cellular energy?
The process you are looking for is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis (as you have stated) is the process which converts solar energy to chemical energy; therefore, it is considered one of the most important biological pathways. Photosynthesis is when water and carbon dioxide, in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll is converted to glucose and oxygen. The formula for this is: 6H2O + 6CO2 => C6H12O6 + 6O2 +ATP In the chloroplasts of plant cells, there are two parts. Grana are stacks of thykloid glands, and the liquid which it is submerged in is called stroma. There are two different stages of photosynthesis. Stage one, the light-dependant pase requires sunlight, and so is done in the daylight. In the grana, water is split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. The electron activity for this bond-breakage i stimulated by light energy. Another substance is called ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). This provides energy for the cell. ATP is converted into ATP (adenosine diphosphate) and is used in the first stage. It carries the electrons for the splitting of the water molecules. Stage two is called the light-independant phase and can be done at night time. In the stroma, the carbon dioxide molecules are attached onto the hydrogen molecules from stage one. ADP is convereted back into ATP. Oxygen is either released into the atmosphere via the stomata, or is used in cellular respiration.
What provides energy to make photosynthesis work?
The molecules ATP and NADPH+
Why do plants and other photosynthetic organisms need CO2 from atmosphere?
Plants require carbon dioxide to complete the important process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires six carbon dioxide molecules, six water molecules, and light in order to create one molecule of glucose, which provides essential energy for all live. Without carbon dioxide, photosynthesis would not occur, and there would be no life on the Earth.
Eating a sweet potato provides energy for human metabolic processes The original source of this energy is the energy?
made available by photosynthesis
What substance provides oxygen produced during photosynthesis?
Water, of course. Water undergoes photolysis in photosystem II and oxygen is a byproduct that is diffused out of leaves.
What does Photosynthesis provides animals?
It provides them oxygen and glucose.
Does mitochondria provides electrons for the cell?
No it does not. But photosynthesis provides electrons
Is photosynthesis an organism?
Photosynthesis is not a organism. It is a process on plants. It provides energy for us.
What does photosynthesis do for other organisms?
Provides them with food.
Photosynthesis provides what for the plants?
Glucose and Oxygen.
What provides oxygen as an end product?
photosynthesis
Why does all life on earth depend upon metabolic diversity of prokaryotes?
Life on earth depend upon metabolic diversity of prokaryotes because Prokaryotic photosynthesis provides free oxygen in the atmosphere
What does a sodium bicarbonate solution provide in the process of photosynthesis?
it provides CO2, a raw material for photosynthesis.
