Photosynthesis is useful in three respects.

1. It is the only process that convert simple elements (carbon dioxide and water) with the aid of sunlight into glucose and Oxygen. This provides food for the plant and in turn food for animals; both of which are then eaten by people.

2. People and animals benefit directly from the products of plants (without photosynthesis no plants): foods, drink, building materials, fuel, medicine.


3. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of animal respiration, plants convert the Carbon dioxide back into breathable Oxygen (as a byproduct) - without plants we eventually would not be able to breath.

What two wavelengths of light are least and most useful to photosynthesis?

Green light is the least useful wavelength for photosynthesis because it is mostly reflected by chlorophyll. Red and blue light are the most useful wavelengths for photosynthesis as chlorophyll absorbs them most efficiently for the process.


Besides food what other materials are useful to humans that are products of photosynthesis?

Some materials useful to humans that are products of photosynthesis include wood for construction and paper, biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel for energy, and natural fibers like cotton and hemp for clothing. Oxygen released during photosynthesis is also essential for human respiration.


Name the gas made in photosynthesis?

Human beings breath in oxygen, and breath out CO2. The plant's leaves, when making photosynthesis, use CO2 and a few other things to make photosynthesis. When finished with making photosynthesis, the leaves release some oxygen, which is the gas we use to breathe. Thus, oxygen is the useful gas made by photosynthesis.


When NaHco3 is added to an elodea plant what happens?

When NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate) is added to an elodea plant, it can act as a carbon source for photosynthesis. The plant can take up the bicarbonate ions and convert them into carbon dioxide to fuel the process of photosynthesis, leading to enhanced production of glucose and oxygen. This can be especially useful in environments with limited carbon dioxide availability.


Photosynthesis produces what?

Photosynthesis produces glucose (C6H12O6) which is required by organisms for respiration, it also gives off bi-products of O2 and water, the oxygen is released into the atmosphere or recycled by the plant in its own respiration reactions.

Why is a variegated leafed plant useful for demonstrating that chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis?

Variegated leafed plant is useful for demonstrating that chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis because variegated leaf is a plant which uses chlorophyll to absorb light so it can get its color


Why is a variegated- leaf plant useful for demonstrating that chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis?

Variegated leafed plant is useful for demonstrating that chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis because variegated leaf is a plant which uses chlorophyll to absorb light so it can get its color


The energy of wavelengths that appear is least useful to photosynthesis?

Green wavelengths (wavelengths around 500-600 nm) are the least useful to photosynthesis. This is because chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for absorbing light in photosynthesis, reflects green light instead of absorbing it. Therefore, green light is not as effectively utilized for driving photosynthetic reactions.


How chloroplast is useful for plants?

Chloroplast contain chlorophyll which traps sunlight and allows photosynthesis to occur


Are chemical reactions useful?

yes some chemical reactions are harmful to us. as digestion of food, photosynthesis, decomposition of organic waste are some examples of the useful chemical reactions.
