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.

What are the plant tissues that conduct water and food?
Xylem tissue conducts water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem tissue conducts sugars and other organic compounds produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
Why is photosynthesis endothermic reaction?
Photosynthesis is endothermic because it requires energy input from sunlight to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This energy is used to break the bonds in these molecules and rearrange them into glucose, which stores chemical energy for the plant to use.
Why does photosynthesis take place in the outer green covering of watermelons?
There are chloroplasts on the skin of a watermelon, along with other types of "chromoplasts" that perform functions in the development of the fruit and seeds. But while there may be "photosensitive" processes taking place in a green fruit, they are not making food for the plant. The avocado is a type of fruit whose green skin contributes to fruit growth, but not enough to function without materials from the plant leaves.
Scientists are investigating how these processes are important in limiting fruit size, contributing to seed development, or otherwise participating in the ripening function of fruit.
Do photosynthesis and respiration have the same reaction?
No - cellular respiration is the process of converting glucose (C6H12O6) to ATP - a form of energy that can be used by the cell.
Synthesis is a general term used for the creation of a product, for example protein synthesis is the creation of a protein.
Are monosaccharides produced during photosynthesis?
Not quite. During photosynthesis, polysaccharides are made to store excess sugar. Polysaccharides are long chains of monosacchrides linked together.
First product of photosynthesis is glucose. And yes,glucose is a monosaccharide
What provides the initial source of energy for photosynthesis?
All energy needed for photosynthesis comes from the sun.
No, amoebas are unable to photosynthesize. They are heterotrophic organisms that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by autotrophic organisms like plants and algae to produce energy from sunlight.
Which photosynthesis reaction occurs in the thylakoid?
Photolysis of water and formation of energy rich componds
What organisms responsible for photosynthesis?
The leaf in plant is the organ of photosynthesis. The leaf contains many chloroplasts, which are the organelles that go through photosynthesis.
Why is the word sunlight written above the yield symbol in the photosynthesis equation?
It is not on either side because sunlight is not considered a raw material in the process of photosynthesis.
How does photosynthesis reduce carbon levels?
Photosynthesis reduces atmospheric carbon dioxide by using it as a reactant in a chemical reaction to create stored energy in autotrophic organisms. This is part of the reason environmental activists are trying to prevent forests being cut down - the forests can help mitigate some of the effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and put a slightly brake on global warming.
Does a plant need oxygen during photosynthesis?
Yes. Plants need oxygen to survive, and plant cells are constantly using oxygen. ... Respiration in plants is like photosynthesis run backward: instead of capturing energy by manufacturing sugars and releasing oxygen, cells release energy for their own use by breaking down sugars and using up oxygen.

What reactions convert light energy to chemical energy?
The light dependent reactions take in the light energy and convert that to chemical energy, but it is in the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions) where the chemical energy is stored in a complex sugar.
What is the end product of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The overall products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
The overall products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
What is needed for photosynthesis in a plant?
water, light,carbondioxide,glucose (C6H12O6), and oxygen.
Before the calvin cycle begins where is the energy stored?
The energy needed for the Calvin cycle is stored in the form of ATP and NADPH molecules, which are produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These molecules provide the energy required for the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
Where do carnivores get their energy?
Well, all animals get their energy from food, and carnivores eat other animals. So, I guess the answer would be animals. I hope that answers your questions.
What is the delta g of photosynthesis reaction?
Delta H is the amount of heat given out or taken in during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their energy . The cell goes through various stages to process this energy which is accompanied by various reactions which take in or give out energy .
What amount of water and light intensity are all factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The optimal amount of water for photosynthesis varies by plant species, but generally, water is essential for transporting nutrients and maintaining cell structure. Light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis by providing energy for the process; too little light can limit photosynthesis, while too much light can damage the plant. Finding the right balance of water and light intensity is crucial for maximizing photosynthetic efficiency.
