Photosynthesis

This category is for questions about the chemical process in which autotrophic organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make glucose, water and oxygen. This process is vital to life and is of great importance in biology.

Is RuBP produced during cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis?

No, RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) is not produced during cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis. RuBP is a 5-carbon sugar molecule that plays a key role in the Calvin cycle, where it serves as the substrate for carbon fixation by Rubisco enzyme. Cyclic electron flow involves a cyclic pathway of electron transport to generate ATP without the release of oxygen or the production of NADPH.

Why doesn't photosynthesis occur in animals?

The process of photosynthesis occur in plant cells mainly because of the presence of special cells known as chloroplasts. These chloroplasts contain a green pigment known as CHLOROPHYLL. This pigment makes use of energy from sunlight to split water molecules into their constituent hydrogen and hydroxide ions,(a process known as PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER). The hydrogen ions thus react with the carbon dioxide within the cells to form carbohydrates.

On the contrary, animal cells lacks this chloroplasts, hence the absence of CHLOROPHYLL. Since there is no chlorophyll, there is on mechanism for the photolysis of water that will lead to the formation of carbohydrates, thus photosynthesis does not occur in animal cells.

What organism's other than plants use photosynthesis?

The organisms that are capable of photosynthesis are photosynthetic microbes and Green plants, that are manned with chlorophyll within chloroplasts in their stromata and leaves allowing them to photosynthesize, to create the ATP needed to carry out functions within their Cells.

What important gas is produced during photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide. This is what the plant takes in to create sugars within the plant, allowing it to feed itself.

What is the conclusion of photosynthesis?

complex molecules are broken down into simple ones

When Plants must have a constant supply of what for photosynthesis but they provide what for cellular respiration?

Plants require a constant supply of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which is used to produce glucose. In return, plants provide oxygen during photosynthesis, which is needed for cellular respiration in both plants and animals.

How much chlorophyll is in spinach?

EXTREAMLY small, a cell is so SMALL you can't see it with the human eye. You have to use a microscope really focused, and the chloroplast is an organelle in the cell, so it's about 1/8 of a normal cell.

How nadph has more energy than nadp?

Inside the cell, NAD is mostly oxidized. The ready availability of the NAD+ will help to speed up the oxidative reactions in the TCA and glycolysis. In contrast, NADP is mainly found in the reduced state. The high level of NADPH will promote reductive reactions in biosynthesis.

(http://watcut.uwaterloo.ca/webnotes/Metabolism/page-8.2.html)

NAD+ is reduced to NADH in respiration, and NADPH is produced from NADP+ in the light stage of photosynthesis and is not involved in respiration. Remember P (NADP+ and Photosynthesis).

Photosynthesis carrier molecules?

In photosynthesis, carrier molecules like NADPH and ATP play crucial roles in transferring energy and electrons during the light-dependent reactions. NADPH carries energized electrons to fuel the Calvin cycle, while ATP provides energy for glucose synthesis. These molecules help convert light energy into chemical energy that plants use for growth and survival.

What can you tell anout photosynthesis if a leaf begins to produce more gas bubbles?

The increase in the rate of gas production (oxygen) leads to the conclusion, that the rate of photosynthesis is increasing. As the rate of the products being released (the bubbles) increases that signifies that the cycle is speeding up, thus a greater amount of photosynthetic cycles are occurring.

Where do plants obtain the carbon dioxide used in photosynthesis?

Plants get Carbon Dioxide from the air, or actually, from animals and people that breath it into the air. Because plants produce Oxygen, animals and humans breath in the Oxygen, and breath out CO2, into the air. So, plants use this element in photosynthesis.

How do thin long palisade cells help in photosynthesis?

the chloroplasts inside the palisade cells capture sunlight wich is needed to make gluscose/sugar .

What is the cycle process for cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

You should have learned this in the 4th grade.

Photosynthesis: Plants take in water and nutrients from the ground through their roots. Phloem carries it up through the stem and into the leaf. The leaf then takes in solar energy from the Sun and carbon dioxide from the air. The ingredients are mixed up, and two products are formed: oxygen and glucose (sugar energy). The oxygen is exuded as a waste product via the leaf's stomata, and the glucose is stored in the cells of the plant, ready to be released via cellular respiration.

H2O + CO2+ nutrients= O2 + C6H12O6 (GLUCOSE)

Cellular Respiration: Glucose stored in the cell's mitochondria is released using oxygen, so the plant can use it.

Is produced in photosynthesis?

there are 2 end results. Thoseare O2 and carbohydrates.

What are examples of accessory pigments for photosynthesis?

Some examples are carotenoids and phychobiliprotein. Chlorophyll is not an accessory pigment. Accessory pigments are pigments which work alongside Chlorophyll a in photosynthesis, such as carotene.

What requires carbon dioxide rubp ATP and nadph?

Light independent reaction, which occurs in the stroma.

Where are the best conditions for photosynthesis?

The process by which green plants prepare there own food is called photosynthesis.

What is the Greek roots of photosynthesis?

It is a Greek word.

It is made up of the words φως (phos, meaning light) and σύνθεσις (synthesis, meaning putting things together in order to make something).

Therefore the meaning is "using light to make something" (energy to grow, etc) Save

Where does water splitting take place in photosynthesis?

The splitting of water during photosynthesis is called photolysis. It is the decomposition of water molecules by the action of light.
