Where do electrons get there energy in photosystem 2?
Excited electrons are transferred to an electron transport chain.
Where is the highest level of photosynthesis happening?
in my backyard where all the trees,grasses,algae and other photosynthetic organisms are growing.
Is production of sugar in photosynthesis exothermic and endothermic?
yes it is because you absorb carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar in photosynthesis.
Why is photosynthesis an anabolic metabolic pathway?
Yes, photosynthesis is considered an anabloic reaction. Photosynthesis is also considered an endergonic reaction because it reduces carbon dioxide into glucose.
In what way is photosynthesis and cellular respiration interdependent processes?
the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis requires CO2 (carbon dioxide)
organisms that are heterotrophs, like us, which cannot produce their own food consume autotrophs like plants, which do produce their own food.
a by-product of cellular respiration is CO2
a by-product of photosynthesis is O2
organisms like us need O2 to live
organisms like plants need CO2 to live (and to support us in life--we eat them because they have sugar [i.e., glucose])
What color are the regions of visible spectrum in which chlorophyll reflect?
They are the greens. That is why plants are green
What pigment traps the energy for photosynthesis?
There is a wide range of pigments that are used for photosynthesis. However, chlorophyll is responsible for using obtained light energy to excite electrons to move through the transport chain. Many pigments are only capable of transferring energy to chlorophyll, but they are important because they increase the spectrum of the frequencies of light of which the organism can use to photosynthesize. These pigments are called accessory pigments. For a more detailed explanation of these pigments, view the attached link below.
Why is oxygen released during light phase?
It is released into the atmosphere, but some of it is used later on in cellular respiration
Why is photosynthesis crucial for life on earth?
without plants using photosynthesis the plants wouldnt be able to make there own food and they would die and all of the animals that ate that plant would now not have that plant to eat and the animals would die.
How does photosynthesis beniffit heterotrophs?
By providing an energy source for them. The majority of heterotrophic organisms get their energy by eating photosynthetic organisms or indirectly, by eating things which themselves eat photosynthetic organisms.
Would a plant be able to do photosynthesis if covered by a clear plastic bag?
If the plant cannot receive a fresh supply of air, it will not get the carbon dioxide it needs to live, If there is enough fresh air, the plastic could still either block the sunlight or could allow water vapor to build up around the leaves or on the plastic.
How photosynthesis and cellular respiration interact in a plant cell?
The products of photosynthesis are used as the reactants for cellular respiration, and vice versa.
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to create organic molecules and oxygen (O2).
In turn, cellular respiration takes those two products (oxygen and organic molecules) to create carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Photosynthesis is the process which creates glucose using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight = C6H12O6 + 6 O2.
Could animals survive using only photosynthesis?
Yes, but there would have to be some living breathing animals like us or the animal would starve and die then it wouldn't make oxygen and so would we.
How is photosynthesis the reverse of cellular respiration?
Respiration in animal cells using oxygen produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP. Plant cells, using photosynthesis, use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen and energy. Plants make O2 and use CO2 while animals use O2 and make CO2
Which factor would not increase the production of glucose by photosynthesis in plants?
excess carbon dioxide
In photosynthesis plant cells use what to trap light energy and produce glucose?
photosynthesis is the process of how plants use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight and with the help of the chlorophyll (i probably spelled it wrong) cells convert all that into energy or calories. their "waste" is oxygen.
What would happen if photo synthesis could no longer occur on the planet?
It willbe the death. because of it is making food for all.
Where does CO2 enter on a leaf during photosynthesis?
CO2 enters through stomata. They are tiny pores on leaves.
What goes in the photosynthesis?
During photosynthesis, the sun's rays are taken in by the leaves of a plant, and the chloroplasts and mitochondria convert the energy from those rays into food the plant can store for later usage.
What happens in Calvin cycle stage?
There are three main phases of the light-independent reactions: fixation, reduction, regeneration of RuBP.
Two turns of the cycle will produce the six-carbon sugar product.
It is also important to note the amounts of carbon in each step.
