The process of using energy to make food is what?

The process of using energy to make food is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.


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.


Does temperature affects the photosynthesis?

Yes it does, The rate of photosynthesis in relation to temperature forms a bell curve.

How does high temperature effect photosynthesis?

The rate of photosynthesis depends on temperature the same way enzymes depend on temperature. Photosynthesis involves enzyme assistance. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes are affected by pH and temperature. If the pH is too acidic or basic, enzymes will be denatured (which means they will change shape and not be able to catalyze reactions as well or entirely). Same goes for temperature. If the temperature is too cold or too hot, the enzymes might deactivate, or their efficiency will be inhibited. So, if the temperature of the organism's environment is too high or low, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease because the enzymes aren't working properly. On the other hand, if the temperature is optimal for enzyme activity, the rate will increase, as production is at its high.


What happens if surface of leaves is coated with Vaseline?

When leaf surface is coated with Vaseline then plant will start getting yellow with the passage of time because Vaseline will stop the process of photosynthesis. This yellowing is known as chlorosis.

Properly balanced equations are necessary for what?

Properly balanced equations are necessary in chemistry to accurately represent the conservation of mass and atoms in a chemical reaction. Balanced equations ensure that all reactants are accounted for and that the number of atoms remain the same on both sides of the reaction.

What are the minimum levels of CO2 needed for?

Carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis in plants. The minimum level required for photosynthesis to occur is around 150 parts per million (ppm). Below this level, plants may not be able to properly carry out photosynthesis and grow.


What is numerical solutions of nonlinear equations?

Linear equations, if they have a solution, can be solved analytically. On the other hand, it may not always be possible to find a solution to nonlinear equations. This is where you use various numerical methods (eg Newton-Raphson) to work from one approximate numerical solution to a better solution. This iterative procedure, if properly applied, gives accurate numerical solutions to nonlinear equations. But as mentioned above, they are not arrived at analytically.


How could temperature increase effect plants?

Temperature is one of the three limiting factors of photosynthesis. The hotter it is the more photosynthesis can take place until you reach 40C and then it is too hot for the plant to function properly.
