Photosynthesis

The equation that describes the releasing of energy from sugar (glucose) in plants is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP). This process, known as cellular respiration, occurs in the presence of oxygen and involves the breakdown of glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.

The transfer of moisture from vegetation to the atmosphere through the stomata of plant leaves is called transpiration. Transpiration helps plants regulate temperature, transport nutrients, and maintain cell turgidity. It also creates a suction force that helps pull water and nutrients from the roots to the upper parts of the plant.

Guard cells, which are specialized cells that surround the stomata, are responsible for adjusting the size of the stomatal pore. When the guard cells take up or release water, they change shape and control the opening and closing of the stomata.

In bacteria, photosynthesis is carried out by pigmented structures called chromatophores or thylakoids, rather than specialized organelles like chloroplasts in plants. These structures contain the necessary pigments and enzymes to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy for the cell. Bacteria that perform photosynthesis are usually classified as either anoxygenic (using other electron donors besides water) or oxygenic (producing oxygen as a byproduct).

Yes, the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis involves a cyclic flow of electrons between photosystem I and photosystem II. This cycle helps generate ATP and NADPH for the Calvin Cycle to produce glucose.

Conversion of three-carbon PGA molecules to energy-rich G3P sugar molecules occurs during the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, specifically during the reduction phase where ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions drive the conversion. This process involves energy input and a series of enzymatic reactions that ultimately result in the production of G3P, a key intermediate used to produce glucose and other carbohydrates.

For photosynthesis to take place in plants, they need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. These three components are essential for the process to occur, enabling plants to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Depending on where you live (Northern or Southern Hemisphere) depends on which month.

basically The best time for Photosynthesis is when the sun is at it's peak, so check out the web and see which Month has the longest day of summer in the area that you live, that is usually when the plant's photosynthesis is at it's best.

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. These are green organelles that contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing sunlight. During photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

plants are adapted for photosynthesis because of the cells and chloroplasts within them. They are closely packed together instead of being spread wide and therefore absorb much more light and water when it rains, and this makes the pkant photosynthesis

Cells use anaerobic respiration, specifically fermentation, to release energy from glucose when oxygen is not available. This process involves breaking down glucose into smaller molecules without the use of oxygen to produce a limited amount of energy.

When the materials needed for photosynthesis are not present anymore, sunlight, water and carbon dioxide, then it could completely stop. That would mean the end of all life, at least on Earth.

In plants, after the light reactions convert solar energy to chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, the anabolic Calvin cycle occurs. Carbon, which enters the Calvin cycle as CO2, leaves in the form of sugar. Also, the cycle consumes NADPH as reducing power to make sugar by adding high-energy electrons and spends energy in the form of ATP. The Calvin cycle consists of three main phases: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of the CO2 acceptor.

In carbon fixation, the enzyme rubisco catalyzes the incorporation and attachment of each CO2 molecule one by one to ribulose biphosphate (RuBP), a five-carbon sugar.

This resulting six-carbon intermediate is short-lived because it is unstable; it splits in half, immediately forming two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate for each CO2. Note that it is important to keep track of the number of molecules, and counting the total carbons is one good way to keep track. Originally there are 3 molecules of the 5-carbon RuBP (total: 15 carbons). If 3 CO2 molecules enter one at a time, then there are three 6-carbon intermediates (total: 18 carbons-15 carbons from the original RuBP + 3 carbons each CO2 molecule) and then six 3-phosphoglycerate molecules (total: 18 carbons).

Then reduction occurs as 6 ATP provide the six 3-phosphoglycerate molecules with another phosphate group. As a result, all of the six 3-phosphoglycerate molecules are now six 1,3 biphosphoglycerate. Each 1,3 biphosphoglycerate has 3 carbons, so there are still 18 total carbons. Next, the six 1,3 biphosphoglycerate molecules are reduced to six glyceraldehydes-3-phosphates by six pairs of electrons donated from six NADPH. To be even more detailed, the carboxyl group of the 3-phosphoglycerate (G3P) is reduced by the NADPH electrons to G3P's aldehyde group, which stores more energy. There is a net output of one G3P molecule, which becomes the starting material from which other organic compounds such as glucose are synthesized through various metabolic pathways. Note that G3P is the same 3-carbon sugar formed by the splitting of glucose in glycolysis. Also, there is now a total of 15 carbons in the Calvin cycle (18 carbons - 3 carbons that left in the outputted G3P).

Lastly, the carbon skeletons of the five remaining G3P molecules are rearranged into 3 molecules of 5-carbon RuBP with the help of three more molecules of ATP. The CO2 acceptor RuBP is regenerated and ready to receive CO2 once more as you can see from the total of 15 carbons in the cycle, and the Calvin cycle can now begin again. Also note that the Calvin cycle consumes 6 NADPH molecules and 9 ATP molecules in all for the net synthesis of one G3P molecule.

During photosynthesis, the main chemical substances used are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight. These substances are used by plants to create organic molecules such as glucose and oxygen through a series of biochemical reactions in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

It produces a net gain of anywhere between 36 to 38 ATP Glycolysis produces a net gain of 2 ATP The Krebs Cycle produces a net gain of 2 ATP And the Electron Transport System (ETS) produces a net gain 34 ATP

The conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate by phosphoglucose isomerase is an endergonic reaction in glycolysis. This step requires an input of energy in the form of ATP to drive the reaction forward.

The purpose of embedding the electron transport chain in the membrane is to create a proton gradient across the membrane that can be used to generate ATP through chemiosmosis. This process is essential for cellular respiration and energy production in organisms.

Yes, chloroplasts are made up of thylakoid membranes. Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur. Multiple thylakoid membranes are stacked together to form structures called grana within the chloroplast.

Photosynthesis is a process utilized by plants by absorbing Ultra-Violet rays from the sun. This process creates glucose, also known as sugar, or also known as carbohydrates. So carbs (energy for plants to consume, or food) is created by photosynthesis, not converted or anything like that. Hope this helps, I feel like you just have the wrong words for the right question!

Yes. In darkness, the plant cannot gather light to excite electrons for their light cycle. They are, however, still able to undergo Calvin cycle.

Cellular respiration and production of ATP occur in the mitochondria of cells. This organelle is responsible for converting nutrients from food into ATP, which is the main energy source for cellular processes.

The Calvin cycle includes three main stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of RuBP (ribulose-1,5-biphosphate). During these stages, carbon dioxide is converted into sugars using ATP and NADPH generated from the light reactions of photosynthesis.

In photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in plant cells, initiating a series of chemical reactions that ultimately produce glucose molecules. This chemical energy stored in glucose can be used by the plant as a source of fuel for cellular processes.

Energy is captured for photosynthesis by pigments called chlorophyll, which are located in the chloroplasts of plant cells. These pigments absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy that is used to drive the process of photosynthesis.
