Does the Eucalyptus tree get enough light for photosynthesis?

Yes, or it wouldn't be able to live. Plants use photosynthesis to make food.


Part of the plant cell where photosynthesis happens?

the leaves


Why do green plants photosynthesis?

Because they have enough light and water for photosynthesis


How does the tempurature affect the rate of photosynthesis?

The rate of photosynthesis in relation to temperature forms a bell curve. At low temperatures the enzymes responsibility for photosynthesis have very little energy so the rate of photosynthesis is very slow. If it is cold enough for water to freeze it can be very harmful to a plant. As the temperature increases, the enzymes get more energy so the rate of photosynthesis increases. If it gets too hot the enzymes begin to lose their shape (denature). This means they are unable to function properly and the rate of photosynthesis decreases again. Also, at higher temperatures the stomata close to prevent water loss. This also stops gas exchange which slows photosynthesis even further. If it is hot enough for water to boil this can be very harmful.

The photic zone or euphotic zone is the depth of water in a lake or ocean that receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to take place!

What is the name of the area where the desert meets the savanna?

In Africa it is called the Sahel. Some define a steppe as a region bordering a desert that receives too much rain to be called a desert but not enough to be called a grassland.


Why is starch an indirect measurement of photosynthesis?

Starch is a plants way of storing energy, why it is not a way of measurement as starch levels is determined by how much extra light, once the plant receives enough light it will turn glucose into starch. Starch levels however could be used for the opposite, by measuring starch & glucose you can work out the rate of respiration, just not photosynthesis.


What plant is in the oceans twilight zone?

There are no plants in the ocean "twilight zone." The twilight zone is the middle layer of the ocean that receives very little sunlight. There is not enough light for photosynthesis to take place; therefore, no plants live in this zone, and food is pretty scarce.

How temperature affects photosynthesis not only about its rate?

Photosynthesis happens rapidly when there is sunlight. Sunlight is a main factor necessary for Photosynthesis. So if the temperature is not hot enough, photosynthesis might not happen as rapidly as it happens when the sunlight is directly there.


During photosynthesis visible light has enough energy to?

Excite electrons


What is the most common ocean plant in the twilight zone?

There are no plants in the ocean "twilight zone." The twilight zone is the middle layer of the ocean that receives very little sunlight. There is not enough light for photosynthesis to take place; therefore, no plants live in this zone, and food is pretty scarce.
