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.

During photosynthesis is energy stored in the form of fat?
No, during photosynthesis, energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose, not fat. Plants then use this glucose as a source of energy for growth and metabolism. Fat is typically stored in plants as a reserve energy source.
What is a water's role in the light reaction of photosynthesis?
It provides the electrons. Process is called Photolysis
Do animal cells have chromoplasts?
No, the animal counterpart to the Plant Cell chloroplast is the Mitochondria.
Why is it significant that both generations of a fern are photosynthetic?
Usually a plant will not begin to photosynthesise until it has reached maturity, but in the case of ferns photosynthesis begins early and gives the plant more energy to grow.
What part of the plant is taken to obtain cinnamon oil?
It is extracted from the bark of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, synonym C. zeylanicum) is a small tree of the family Lauraceae.
What atmospheric gas that enables green plants to carrey on the process of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the atmospheric gas that enables green plants to carry on the process of photosynthesis. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into sugars and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis.
Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
What are the factors that affect maturity of a person?
The level of maturity a person has is dictated by their age and the culture they are in. It may also be influenced on their knowledge and how the people around them act.
cellular respiration. Its bssically the exact opposite of photosynthesis so it basically counters it and balances it out
What is the primary energy conversion that takes place in plants photosynthesis?
It is sun light converting to the chemical energy. Pigments are absorbing light.
What is the surface region of an enzyme into which substrate molecule fits?
That is the active site. Substrate binds to it
What compound in plants makes photosynthesis possible?
Chlorophyll is the compound in plants that makes photosynthesis possible. It has a unique structure that allows it to lose electrons easily when it gets excited by energy. This is where the conversion from light energy to chemical energy begins.
What do you need in step 1 of photosynthesis but not?
There are two steps. It needs H2o IN THE FIRST STEP.
What is one gas that plants give off through photosynthesis?
Plants give of oxygen and need to use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make food. This makes them perfect partners to animals since we give off carbon dioxide and need oxygen to make ATP (energy).
What green molecule that enables plants to turn water carbon dioxide and sunlight into sugars?
Chlorophyll
Excited electrons are transferred to an electron transport chain.
Why is photosynthesis the only process that can combat the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect does not have to be combatted, as it usefully keeps the earth warm. But we have to stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The only process that can combat the enhanced greenhouse effect is photosynthesis, trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What main energy currency of cells is made using the protons from the water molecules?
ATPis made like that. ATPis the universal currency of energy
What is the equation for photosynthesis using CO2 and H2S?
It is not using H2S gas. It is using H2O liquid.
What type of dinoflagellate has red photosynthetic pigments?
Dinoflagellates with red photosynthetic pigments belong to the group called the "peridinin-containing dinoflagellates." These pigments help in capturing light for photosynthesis in deeper waters where blue and green light are less available.
