Which could be used to monitor the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?

There are instruments that measure the input of CO2 and output of H2O, called Photosynthesis Measurement Systems. Look up the scientific papers that are referenced on the Wikipedia page to see which Photosynthesis Systems have been used to study the rate of photosynthesis; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis_system They use an infrared gas analyser, and are precise and accurate. Some Photosythesis Measurement Systems (e.g. the LCpro+) can precisely control the environment of the leaf being measured, to allow you to conduct detailed experiments on the effects of different conditions on the rate of photosynthesis. Some Photosynthesis Measurement Systems are light weight (except some models are too heavy for field work. The LI-6400 weighs 13.5kg)


Electron transfer systems concentrate energy that is then used to generate ATP in?

aerobic respiration,photosynthesis and mitochondria


How do plants obtain the water they need for photosynthesis?

Plants get the water they require for photosynthesis by absorbing from the soil through their root systems. It is then transported up the stem and to the leaves where is is used to synthesise sugars through photosynthesis.


Where do the reactions of photosynthesis happen?

They occur first within the cytochrome biochemical photosynthetic Enzymes that reside within the Thylacoid membrane systems that reside within the Grana and Stroma of the Chloroplasts that reside within photosynthetic Organisms.
