Plants carry out the action of photosynthesis during daylight hours. The leaves and flowers of many plants track the sun as it travels across the sky.

What is the process by which plants release energy in food to carry on life processes?

Plants release energy from food through a process called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into energy in the form of ATP through a series of chemical reactions. This energy is then used by the plant to carry out various life processes necessary for growth and survival.


What is produced during the light dependent reaction and use during the light independent reaction of photosynthesis?

During the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis, light energy is used to split water molecules to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. These products are then used in the light-independent reaction (Calvin Cycle) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.


Which organelle in plants and animals is involved in carrying out the reaction in this equation in the forward direction?

Chloroplasts in plants and mitochondria in animals are the organelles involved in carrying out the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy, while mitochondria carry out cellular respiration, converting chemical energy into ATP.


Do plants carry out cellular respiration and why?

Yes, plants do use energy to carry out cellular respiration, but this is only during investment stages. There is a net increase of energy through the process of cellular respiration, as it is the same process that occurs in all other eukaryotic life.


What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?

Plants use chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b pigments to carry out photosynthesis. These pigments absorb light energy and transfer it to the reaction center of the photosystem, where it drives the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is essential for plants to produce their own food and release oxygen into the atmosphere.

Plants that fix CO2 into organic acids at night when the stomata are open and carry out the Calvin cycle during the day when the stomata are closed are called?

Plants that fix CO2 into organic acids at night when the stomata are open and carry out the Calvin cycle during the day when the stomata are closed are called CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants. CAM plants have adapted their carbon fixation process to avoid water loss during the day by keeping stomata closed, and perform photosynthesis during the night when conditions are cooler and less water loss occurs.


Do plants make food all the time?

No-only when they are photosynthesizing. This occurs when there is light, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll (green pigment, usually in the leaves). Therefore, it doesn't occur in the dark or when the leaves have fallen in the colder months.


Why does chloroplast are present in plants?

That is carry out photosynthesis. It makes food in plants

Do plants die in winter or do they carry on growing?

They become dormant during the winter months, this basically means that they are in hibernation-like state.


Why do cells of living organisms carry out the reactions of cell respiration?

So that the energy released during the reaction of the food with the oxygen can be utilized by the human body.


What kind of energy does a plant use to make carbon dioxide combine with water?

Plants use light energy from the sun during the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This energy is absorbed by the chlorophyll in the plant's cells, allowing them to carry out this chemical reaction.
