What process produces carbon dioxide and water?
The process of cellular respiration in living organisms produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
In photosynthesis what type of energy is used to make a new substance?
Very often thermal energy is used to make substances react with each other, to make new compounds. Sometimes the reaction will happen without any energy being added, in this case it is just chemical energy. Another way is by nuclear energy, this causes uranium to fission and new elements are formed as the fission products. Electrical energy can also be used in the process called electrolysis.hi
Describe the process chemiosmosis in chloroplasts, tracing the flow of energy from sunlight to ATP?
Light energy strikes Photosystem II, where it excites 2 electrons into a system similar to the elctron transport chain in cellular respiration. The electrons travel down this chain which includes a b6-f cytochrome complex, which pumps hydride ions against their concentration gradient into the intermembrane space. These hydride (H+) ions then diffuse down their concentration gradient through ATp Synth(et)ase, phosphorylating ATP. (That's how the ATP is made; the electrons don't stop there, but I just wanted to answer your specific question.)

What are the component needed for photosynthesis?
The main components needed for photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. These components are used by plants to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen as a byproduct, with the help of the pigment chlorophyll found in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
What is the role of the leaf pigments in photosynthesis?
There are many chlorophyll pigments in plants but primarily they are used to release and regain electrons so it can create ATP and NADPH. These are needed so that the Calvin cycle can proceed and ultimately produce sucrose for the plant
The series of electron acceptors in the thylakoid membrane is known as the electron transport chain. As electrons move through the chain, they lose energy, which is used to pump protons across the membrane, creating a proton gradient. This gradient is then used by ATP synthase to produce ATP through a process known as chemiosmosis.
Does virus use photosynthesis?
No, viruses do not have the ability to perform photosynthesis. Viruses are considered to be non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate and carry out their life cycle. Photosynthesis is a process unique to plants, algae, and some bacteria that enables them to convert sunlight into energy.
The cyclic pathways of photosynthesis produce?
The cyclic pathways of photosynthesis produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through the process of cyclic photophosphorylation. This pathway involves the movement of electrons through the photosystem I in a cyclic manner, leading to the formation of ATP as an energy carrier for the cell.
It depends on the plant. If you're talking about, say, a tree, the water is carried up from the soil. That's why you water a houseplant. Carbon dioxide enters through holes in the bottom of the leaf called stomata.
What activity occurs in the process of photosynthesis?
Plants store the energy of Sunlight in the chemical bonds of Glucose.
During photosynthesis, green plants and other organisms turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen using light energy that is trapped by chlorophyll.
What are the three products of the light dependent reactions?
The light dependent reaction is a set of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that require light energy that is captured by light-absorbing pigments. Its three products are oxygen, ATP and NADPH.
Explain why the light-independent reactions are called such as?
The light-independent reactions do not directly require light energy to occur; they can proceed in the absence of light. These reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, are responsible for the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose and other organic molecules using ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.
What happens to the glucose and oxygen once there made in photosynthesis?
During photosynthesis glucose and oxygen are made by the plant. The glucose made is used by the plant as a form of food and the oxygen is discarded as a waste product.
How are glycolysis and cellular respiration the same?
Both glycolysis and cellular respiration involve the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, while cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Overall, both processes are essential for generating ATP to power cellular activities.
How did plants and animals get their energy before coming fossil fuels?
Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. Animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals. This natural process has been occurring for millions of years before the use of fossil fuels.
Humans carry cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Humans carry out cellular respiration to generate ATP for energy production. Photosynthesis is a process performed by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. Humans cannot perform photosynthesis as we lack the necessary organelles, such as chloroplasts.
Do humans carry both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
No, humans do not carry out photosynthesis. Instead, humans rely on cellular respiration to convert nutrients into energy. Photosynthesis is a process unique to plants, algae, and some bacteria, where they convert sunlight into energy.
Why is cellular repiration important to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration allows cells to break down glucose produced during photosynthesis to produce energy in the form of ATP. This energy is crucial for the various metabolic processes that occur in the cell, including supporting the photosynthetic process itself. Additionally, cellular respiration acts as a "recycler" by returning carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere, which can then be used by plants in photosynthesis.
What is the fuel from photosynthesis?
The fuel of photosynthesis is light energy, from ultimately the sun.
What supplies energy used to synthesize carbohydrates during the Calvin cycle?
The energy used to synthesize carbohydrates during the Calvin cycle comes from ATP and NADPH, which are produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis. These molecules carry the necessary energy to drive the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates like glucose.
How does a volcanic eruption effect photosynthesis?
A volcanic eruption puts ash into the air, which cuts off sunlight to the plant. Light is needed for photosynthesis to happen, so photosynthesis wouldn't happen if a volcano erupted near the plant.
What are the steps of the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis?
1. light energy from the sun hits the thylakoid membrane (of chloroplast), exciting the chlorophyll molecules in photosystem 1 and photosystem 2
2. excited electrons from photosystem 1 drive down the thylakoid membrane and create NADPH from NADP+
3. excited electrons from photosystem 2 drive down the membrane and pull H+ ions into the intermembrane space, these electrons replenish photosystem 1
4. The splitting of H2O forms oxygen gas, which replenishes the electrons from photosystem 2
5. The H+ ions in the intermembrane space have a lot of potential energy, so they go through ATP Synthase- which binds ADP and 1 phosphate to make ATP
The NADPH and ATP formed go on to the Calvin Cycle in the stroma.
What is the chemical formula for drink mix?
There is none! (at least: not one!) It is a mixture of many compounds, each of which has a different chemical name and formula plus a different set of properties.
(Example: water, sugar, sometimes fizz-gas, many taste and aroma compounds etc.)
Chlorophyll is a nutrient found in plants that may offer some health benefits. It is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and may help to detoxify the body. However, more research is needed to fully understand its effects on human health.
