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 is the similarity and the major difference between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
photosnthesis is a process producers use to make theyre own food
- happens only in producers
- happens in chlorplasts
- only happens during daylight
requires:
- sun
- carbon dixoxide
- water
produces:
- sugar (glucose)
- oxygen
respiration is a process that consumers use to release energy from the food they eat
- happens in all living things
- begins in the cytoplasm & ends in the mitochondria
- can happen any time
requires:
- food (glucose)
- oxygen
produces:
- lots of energy
- carbon dioxide
- water
fermentation is a process that releases energy from food when ther is not enough oxygen for respiration to hapen
- happens in cytoplasm
- only happens in consumers
requires:
- food
produces:
- less energy
- lactic acid
- alcohol
- carbon dioxide
this process is also used to make bread, cheese, yogurt, and alcoholic beverages.
respiration is almost exactly opposite photosynthesis and the same as fermentation eccept fermentation doesnt use oxygen.
What is water's role in the light reaction in photosynthesis?
It's you lots hugs are used to form NADPH
What is the reaction of planaria to pH light and different temperature conditions?
it does not like light, and therefor moves away from it.
How does light and dark reactions correspond with parts of a leaf?
Dark reaction needs energy. this energy is supplied by light reaction
Does the reaction at photosystem 1 need light?
Yes, the reaction at Photosystem I (PSI) requires light to function. Light energy is absorbed by pigments within PSI, which excites electrons and initiates the process of electron transport. This energization is essential for the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, a key component in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Without light, PSI cannot effectively carry out its role in converting solar energy into chemical energy.
Processes that take place in plants?
The process that takes place in plants is called photosynthesis in which plants and other organisms convert light energy, from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.
What do plants give off that is needed by animals?
You are probably referring to carbon dioxide, which plants require to produce carbohydrates for food. However, carbon dioxide also comes from decomposes such as bacteria and fungi. Animals are also useful to plants because they pollinate them, fertilize the soil, and spread their seeds.
Photosynthesis in water bodies is restricted to a certain depth This is mainly?
This is because after this depth, sunlight amounts are insufficient for photosynthesis. Most creatures hunt or use chemosynthesis after this depth.
Which reaction during photosynthesis is light-independent?
That is the second step. It is called dark cycle
How does photosynthesis make our lives possible?
it helps plants stay green and once we pick them we can eat them
Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis. Without the plants that produce oxygen, we would not have any oxygen to breathe.
What does the energy come from that enables you to breathe and think?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say food.
What are the raw materials in mirror?
The primary raw materials used in the production of mirrors are glass and a reflective coating, typically made of silver or aluminum. The glass is often float glass, which provides a smooth surface, while the reflective layer is applied to the back of the glass to create the mirror effect. Additional materials may include protective coatings to enhance durability and prevent tarnishing.
What is the formula for raw materials?
The formula for raw materials typically refers to the quantity and cost of materials needed for production. It can be expressed as: Raw Materials Cost = Quantity of Raw Materials × Unit Cost of Raw Material. This formula helps businesses calculate the total expense incurred in acquiring the raw materials required for manufacturing their products. Additionally, in a broader context, raw materials can be categorized based on their types or sources, such as natural resources or processed inputs.
Name at leaat two different energy acquisition strategies?
Two energy acquisition strategies is photosynthesis and eating other organisms.
Equine means connected with or relating to horses. Adjective ADJ n
- ...an outbreak of equine influenza.
