How does the process of photosynthesis affect carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere during a typical year?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide as a raw material where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules. This process lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The seasonal fluctuation of carbon dioxide levels during a year may be caused by increased photosynthesis during spring and summer.
How does photosynthesis and respiration in green plants meet the needs of the cell?
Respiration is an essential life process in plants. It is necessary for the synthesis of essential metabolites including carbohydrates, amino acids and fatty acids, as well as for the transport of minerals and other solutes between cells. It consumes between 25 and 75% of all the carbohydrates produced in photosynthesis at ordinary growth rates.
What energy sources do some nonphotosynthetic autotrophs use?
Fixed energy
How many molecules of O2 are released for every CO2 molecule fixed by photosynthesis?
one o2 molecule
Where do plants get the carbon they use to make organic molecules?
carbon fixed in photosynthesis
What transforms solar energy into chemical energy?
Solar energy is fixed into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This action takes place in chloroplasts and synthesizes glucose out of water and carbon dioxide.
Why is photorespiration such a waste?
Photorespiration is a wasteful process because: i. About 25 % of the CO2 fixed during photosynthesis is lost ii. There is no formation of ATP & NADH
All of the events listed below occur in the energy-capturing light reactions of photosynthesis except?
Ccarbon dioxide is incorporated into PGA. CO2 is actually FIXED.

Why the food making process in plants is called photosynthesis?
Photo. The light reaction where light energy is turned into energy carrying molecules of ATP and NADPH.Synthesis. The light independent reactions of the Calvin cycle where those energy rich molecules give up there electrons, carbon dioxide is fixed and sugar in the form of glyceraldihyde-3-phosphate is made.
What is a fixed percent of a principle?
It is a fixed rate of simple interest.

What moved in fixed orbits around the nucleus in Bohr's model of a the atom?
Bohr did not speak of fixed LOCATIONS of electrons, he spoke of fixed energy levels. His name for such energy levels was "orbits" or "orbitals."
What is the basic role of CO2 in photosynthesis?
CO2 is fixed or incorporated into organic molecules.
A fixed percent of the principal of a loan or investment?
A fixed percent of the principal of a loan or investment is called a fixed interest. It is paid monthly or annually or whatever based on the agreement made.
How many co2 are fixed in the Calvin benson cycle in photosynthesis to produce glucose?
Three.
What is the electron carrier in photosynthesis that will donate electrons to co2 so it can be fixed into sugar is?
NADPH
