Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well! Photosynthesis is the process through which plants use the sun's energy to make their own food. The reactants are carbon dioxide and water. The plants get the carbon dioxide through the stomata which are the tiny pores on the underside of the leaf. They get the water through the roots. The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. The oxygen is released through the stomata or used in respiration. The glucose is the food the plant needs. It is converted into starch which is stored in the leaf. Photosynthesis also releases energy. Sunlight is needed for photosynthesis to take place so it only happens in the day time and happens more in summer than in winter. Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in leaves, is also needed. Photosynthesis takes place in the palisade cells in the leaf. We can write the overall reaction of this process as: 6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2 Most of us don't speak chemicalese, so the above chemical equation translates as: six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of glucose plus six molecules of oxygen
What else can I help you with?
Is it true of false that both respiration and photosynthesis take place in some plant cells?
Yes, it is true. Some plant cells are capable of both respiration and photosynthesis. During the day, these cells perform photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy, and at night, they switch to respiration to produce energy from stored sugars.
Is this true or false Many scientists consider photosynthesis to be the most important life process on Earth?
True. Photosynthesis is considered the most important life process on Earth as it is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water, producing oxygen as a byproduct. Without photosynthesis, life on Earth as we know it would not be sustainable.
Increasing the intensity of light decreases the rate of photosynthesis true or false?
False. Increasing the intensity of light typically increases the rate of photosynthesis, up to a certain point where other limiting factors may come into play.
True or false Photosynthesis and cellular respiration form a cycle that links organisms to each other and to their environment?
True. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, while cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose into energy. These processes form a cycle where plants produce oxygen and glucose through photosynthesis, which is then used by animals in cellular respiration to produce carbon dioxide and energy, creating a linkage between organisms and their environment.
True or false photosynthesis is a process that takes place in autotrophs?
True. Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in autotrophs, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria. It involves the conversion of sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen, using chlorophyll in chloroplasts.
Is glucose is a usable form of energy produced through photosynthesis True?
yes you ar true. it is the main product of photosynthesis.
True or fales in photosynthesis planets absorb energy from the sun?
True.
Is it true or false oxygen released in photosynthesis comes from water?
True
Is it true photosynthesis continues to increase with temperature?
it is true that photosynthesis continues to increase with higher temperatures because it makes the process speed up.
Is it true that during photosynthesis plants give off carbon dioxide?
No it is not true
The principal organs in which plants carry out photosynthesis are leaves true or false?
True. Leaves are the primary organs where photosynthesis takes place in plants. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Not enough water in the leaf will decrease plant photosynthesis true false?
True. Water is a critical component in the photosynthesis process as it is used to transport nutrients and maintain turgor pressure within the plant. Insufficient water can lead to reduced photosynthesis and overall plant health.
Is it true that glucose is an unusable form of energy produced through photosynthesis?
No it is not true. It is a useble product.
Do plants use solar energy during photosynthesis?
True
Is true of the light reaction of photosynthesis?
it breaks down ATP.
Are Organisms that are capable of of photosynthesis are called consumers?
yes it true
What true of the light reaction of photosynthesis?
it breaks down ATP.
