Photosynthesis

Glucose is the sugar molecule made during photosynthesis. It is produced from the combination of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight, using the energy obtained from sunlight to drive the chemical reaction.

The word "photosynthesis" can be broken down into two word parts: "photo" meaning light and "synthesis" meaning putting together. Therefore, photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Jan Van Helmont concluded that plants get most of their mass from water, rather than from soil as previously believed. He conducted an experiment in which he tracked the growth of a willow tree and found that the increase in mass of the tree was mostly due to the water it absorbed.

C6H12O6 (glucose) is relevant to both of these processes, because...

Glucose is the end product of photosynthesis. After generating ATP and NADPH from the "light reactions" in the electron transport chain, both these molecules (ATP and NADPH) go on to power the Calvin Cycle, or "dark reaction". The end product of the Calvin Cycle is a molecule of G3P, which is made into glucose.

Cellular respiration is essentially the "inverse" of photosynthesis- where photosynthesis makes glucose, cellular respiration breaks it down into ATP, so that it might be used by the cell. There is aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration, which occur differently, but the common goal of the two processes is to break down glucose. Glycolysis precedes cellular respiration itself, which is the actual process of breaking down the glucose molecules into pyruvate.

Yes, and it does all the time, but some other energy source is required. For one thing, all animal cells undergo cellular respiration without photosynthesis, as do all anaerobic bacteria (yeasts, etc.), and many plants and animals that grow on thermal vents on the bottom of the ocean. Instead of getting energy from light, they use chemical energy (animals and yeasts) or geothermal (heat) energy, such as in the case of aquatic organisms on heat vents.

The major organelle for photosynthesis is the chloroplast. It contains chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight, and is where the process of converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose) occurs.

No, yet it is a crucial and complex Part of the Factory that processes the raw materials.

While Chlorophyll is required for photosynthesis, it is not used up in the process of photosynthesis and none of its parts are used in the chemical reactions of photosynthesis. Only the energy it absorbs from the Sun is used in photosynthesis.

Plants and phytoplankton are organisms that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a process called photosynthesis. This allows them to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and organic carbon, playing a crucial role in the global carbon cycle.

Water is absorbed by the roots of plants from the soil, then transported through the plant's vascular system to the leaves where it is used in photosynthesis. In the leaves, water molecules are split into hydrogen and oxygen during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, releasing oxygen as a byproduct and providing electrons to drive the process.

Carbon dioxide molecules (CO2) supply the carbon component of carbohydrates during the Calvin cycle. Carbon dioxide is fixed by the enzyme RuBisCO to form intermediate molecules that eventually lead to the production of glucose and other carbohydrates.

Plants, algae, and some bacteria can perform photosynthesis. These organisms have chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight, converting it into chemical energy to produce food (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water.

The evidence for two photosystems in plants comes from experiments using isolated chloroplasts, which have shown that two distinct light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane. Additionally, differences in absorption spectra and electron transport pathways of Photosystem I and Photosystem II provide further evidence for the existence of two separate photosystems.

A urethrocystogram is performed by filling the bladder with a contrast dye through a catheter inserted into the urethra. X-ray images are taken while the bladder is filled to evaluate the bladder and urethra for any abnormalities or obstructions. This procedure helps to diagnose conditions such as urinary incontinence or urinary tract infections.

This process is called carbon fixation. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and convert it into organic compounds like glucose to produce energy.

The storage plastid in photosynthesis with the prefix meaning white is called a leukoplast. Leukoplasts are colorless plastids that store nutrients such as starch.

This is an example of diffusion, where molecules naturally move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In this case, carbon dioxide moves from the air (higher concentration) into the plant (lower concentration) during photosynthesis.

The process is called cellular respiration. It occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves breaking down food molecules to produce ATP, the main energy currency of the cell.

Plants require light for photosynthesis, which is the process by which they convert light energy into chemical energy to fuel growth. Different plants have varying light requirements - some thrive in direct sunlight, others in partial or low light conditions. Light intensity, quality, and duration all play a role in how well plants grow and develop.

Yes, photosystems are clusters of chlorophyll and other pigments, as well as proteins, that are essential components of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis. They work together to absorb light energy and initiate the electron transport chain that drives the production of ATP and NADPH.

It would be hard to find the ideal CO2 level if the light intensity were very low because plants rely on light for photosynthesis, which produces the energy they need to utilize the CO2. If there is low light, the plant's ability to uptake and use the CO2 efficiently is compromised, making it difficult to determine the optimal CO2 level needed for healthy growth.

Charophyta is a group of green algae that includes charophyceans, which are the closest algal relatives to land plants, while Chlorophyta is a diverse group of green algae with a wide range of body forms and habitats. Charophytes have complex multicellular structures and reproductive strategies similar to land plants, while chlorophytes tend to be more simple in structure and reproductive processes.

Chloroplasts, containing chlorophyll, are the main structures responsible for photosynthesis in plant leaves. They are found in the cells of the mesophyll layer, particularly in the palisade and spongy mesophyll cells. These chloroplasts capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Mineral nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are obtained from the soil during photosynthesis. These nutrients are essential for plant growth and are absorbed through the plant's roots.

photosynthesis equation is H2O+Co2->(ATP+) C6H2O6+O2 cellular reapiratation is O2+C6H2O(-> ATP)+Co2+H2O. so photoshynthesis eqaution backwards is celluar respirations equation. and they also have all the same stuff in them (water, carbon, energy, glucose, and oxygen.)
