Is the energy involved in photosynthesis and cellular respiration recycled?
Solar energy is transformed into other types of energy once it is in the biological cycle. The only way it may be released is as heat energy into space. Sunlight powers photosynthesis, and the ultimate function of this stored chemical energy is as mechanical energy and waste heat.
The energy that plants store may be used in cellular respiration, but never goes back to the plant. The physical materials are mostly recycled (water, carbon dioxide, and trace nutrients) because cellular respiration undoes the chemical changes of photosynthesis.
Why is soil so importany in photosynthesis?
Thirteen essential minerals (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Boron, Copper, Iron, Chloride, Manganese, Molybdenum, and Zinc), which come from the soil, are dissolved in water and absorbed through a plant's roots. There are not always enough of these nutrients in the soil for a plant to grow healthy. This is why many farmers and gardeners use fertilizers to add the nutrients to the soil.
What happens in the 'dark reaction' of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis happens in two main stages, called the light-dependent stage and the light-independent stage. The light-independent stage is sometimes called the 'dark' stage.
The light-dependent stage can only happen in the light. During this stage light is absorbed and turned into chemical energy (ATP). Oxygen is also produced.
The light-independent stage can happen in the light or the dark ie it is independent of light! However, it needs substances made in the light-dependent stage so it cannot happen completely by itself.
In the light-independent stage the energy trapped as ATP in the light-dependent stage is used to change carbon dioxide into sugar (glucose).
The Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate.
CO2 --------> (CH2O)
This process requires an energy source and a hydrogen source, as well as carbon dioxide.
The energy source is ATP. The hydrogen source is NADPH. Both of these substances are produced by the light-dependent reactions.

What is the photosynthesis equation plus the cellular respiration equation?
photosynthesis eqn :- 6CO2 + 12H2O -----> C6H12O6 +6O2
Respiratory eqn :- C6H12O6 +6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 12H2O
So, photosynthesis eqn = Respiration eqn
What gas does the process of photosynthesis release?
The process of photosynthesis releases oxygen gas (O2) as a byproduct.
Part of suns rays used for photosynthesis?
The Sun's 'rays' don't really have parts - it's all just light, which consists of photons. However, the photons emitted by the sun have a range of energies, and the different energies of the photons give rise to the different colours of light that we see. Red light, for example, corresponds to a lower energy than blue light. Apart from different energies, the photons are all exactly the same. The range of colours of visible light, part of the electromagnetic spectrum, is what we see in a rainbow.
The fact that leaves are green means that they reflect green light, so plants are not good at absorbing green light. They are good at absorbing red light though, so a plant under a red lamp should grow better than a plant under a green lamp.
What do you call the drink at mcdonalds when you mix all the sodas?
The "little bit of everything the machine dispenses" soda combination is generally called a "suicide". At least that's what it was called when I was a kid. It's probably got some more politically correct name now, like a "disadvantaged youth in need of social programs."
Which of these is a rectant in photosynthesis?
CO2+H20 are the reactants, with the help of light energy these will produce glucose and oxygen.
What happens to the gas that produced by photosynthesis?
The gas produced by photosynthesis is oxygen. It is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of the process, where it can be used by other organisms for respiration. Oxygen is essential for the survival of most living organisms.
Where do New Look get their raw materials from?
New Look sources their raw materials from various locations globally, including countries in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. They work with suppliers to ensure responsible and ethical sourcing practices for their materials.
What happens to oxygen after it doesnt participate further in photosynthesis?
Oxygen released as a byproduct of photosynthesis can be used for respiration, combustion, or other chemical reactions. In the atmosphere, it can remain as a gas or combine with other elements. Additionally, oxygen is essential for the survival of many living organisms as it is used in cellular respiration to generate energy.
What raw materials do plants need to build sugar molecules?
Plants need carbon dioxide from the air, water from the soil, and sunlight to build sugar molecules through the process of photosynthesis. These raw materials are used to produce glucose, which is then stored or used as energy for the plant's growth and development.
What releases oxygen in photosynthesis?
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), trees and grass absorb carbon dioxide and water. Within the chloroplasts of these organisms photosynthesis occurs (using sunlight as an energy source), reslting in sugar which is used by the plant, and releasing oxygen which the plant does not use.
A greeen plant that produces its own food by the process of photosynthesis?
The green plant you are referring to is likely a typical autotrophic plant that uses chlorophyll to capture sunlight and converts it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This process involves converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in the presence of sunlight, allowing the plant to produce its own food.
Is photosynthesis a gymnosperm or angiosperm?
Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in both gymnosperms and angiosperms. It is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. Both gymnosperms and angiosperms have chlorophyll in their tissues that enables them to carry out photosynthesis.
Can oxygen can enter the atmosphere during photosynthesis?
Yes oxygen enters the air during photosynthesis after the plant has produced sugar it releases oxygen
You are asking for the equation for Aerobic Respiration. The equation is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
Hope you found it useful! :)
What is the name of the process that makes chlorophyll inside a plant?
There is no specific name to the process, this is simply a metabolic process that produces the pigment chlorophyll. Photosynthesis, however it the process that is used by the chlorophyll to produce food from sunlight
Is it possible to perform autocunnilingus?
It is physically possible for some people to perform autocunnilingus, depending on their flexibility and anatomy. However, it can be difficult and potentially harmful if done incorrectly, as it puts strain on the neck and back. It is important to proceed with caution and prioritize safety.
What is the material in the leaf that must be present for photosynthesis to occur?
The material is Chlorophyll and it comes from a green part of a plant cell called the chloroplast.
How do you extract raw materials?
Raw materials can be extracted through various methods depending on the material. Common methods include mining (for metals and minerals), harvesting (for plants), drilling (for oil and gas), and farming (for crops). Extraction methods often involve physically separating the desired material from its natural source.
Plantlike protists that convert the sun's energy into food through photosynthesis are called?
volvox.
What is the relationship between light-dependent and the light independent reaction?
they are both stages in photosynthesis and both require enzymes and occur in the chloroplast :)
What is the difference between chemical energy and knetic energy?
Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of molecules and is released during a chemical reaction. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, possessed by an object in motion. In other words, chemical energy is potential energy stored in chemical bonds, while kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
Yeast help in the production of oxygen or alcohol or glucose or salts?
Yeast help in the production of alcohol through the process of fermentation, where they convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. They do not directly produce oxygen, glucose, or salts.
