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.
6,415 Questions
What type of process is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a biological process that converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, utilizing carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. It is a vital process for the survival of plants and other autotrophic organisms.
Do auto troughs use photosynthesis?
Many autotrophs carry out photosynthesis. There are few cheamo autotrophs.
How is chloroplast adapted for photosynthesis?
They have photosynthetic pigments. They have enzymes and other molecules
What are two ways hair can help an investigation?
Hair found at a crime scene can provide DNA evidence, which can link a suspect to the scene. Additionally, the analysis of hair can provide information about the individual's diet, toxins they may have been exposed to, and even their geographical origin.
Compare and contrast photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation?
Oxidative phosphorylation is ATP synthesis driven by electron transfer to oxygen and photophosphorylation is ATP synthesis driven by light. Oxidative phosphorylation is the culmination of energy-yielding metabolism in aerobic organisms and photophosphorylation is the means by which photosynthetic organisms capture the energy of sunlight, the ultimate source of energy in the biosphere.
What is the euqation for oxidative respiration and photosynthesis?
Respiiration.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O ( and ATP energy produced )
Photosynthesis.
6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What leaf area does photosynthesis happen?
It is about green plants. It is happening in every single leaf alive.
How sugar is synthesized with a light independent reaction?
It is not.
The synthesis of sugar from CO2 and H20 requires the energy of light - it is therefore light dependent.
What is role of nitrates and amonium salts in photosynthesis?
ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is a source of NO3, since the NH4+ and NH2 groups can both be oxidized by air and bacteria in the soil to become NO3. During photosynthesis, a water molecule (H2O) is obtained and oxygen (O2) molecule is released into the air. The leftover hydrogen atoms are then combined with CO2 to become sugar, fats... and will also combine with NO3 to become amino acids to form more complex proteins.
How does photosynthesis trap carbon dioxide?
Goes under the sea
CO2 is diffused from atmosphere to the plants. CO2 enters through stomata. Then it enters into cells
What is the formula for photosynthesis for kids?
carbon dioxide + water + light energy = glucose + oxygen. Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to combine light, water, and carbon dioxide to make glucose for energy and release oxygen.
Yes, you will find radioactivity as one of the end product of photosynthesis if the water containing radioactive oxygen is given to plants.
Organ of the plant body performs photosynthesis?
WE call it chloroplast. That is where photosynthesis is happening.
What is the output for cellular respiration?
The output of cellular respiration includes ATP (adenosine triphosphate), carbon dioxide, and water. ATP is the main energy currency of the cell, used for various cellular processes. Carbon dioxide and water are waste products that are exhaled and eliminated from the body.
The principal organs in which plants carry out photosynthesis are leaves true or false?
True. Leaves are the primary organs where photosynthesis takes place in plants. They contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Can the equation for photosynthesis be balanced?
Yes. The equation for photosynthesis can be balanced. You are simply using light to strip two hydrogen atoms from one oxygen atom. You will have H2O plus 2 photons produces 2 single atoms of Hydrogen and One atom of free Oxygen. Your free atom of Oxygen will soon link up with another Oxygen atom and create O2. The hydrogen atoms will participate in some other reactions.
How many ATP molecules in the presence of oxygen can be produced?
In aerobic respiration, 36 or 38 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose, depending on how many are gained through the electron transfer system.
In anaerobic respiration 2 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose, though higher yields can occur in higher temperatures (as much as 9 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose)
What does photosynthesis release or create?
it makes glucose, which is the plant's own food. and it releases some energy.
What are some important facts about Russia?
Russia is the largest country with 16,995,800 sq km of land. It's part of Europe and Asia. It's lowest point is the Caspian sea which is the worlds biggest lake. It's highest point is Elbrus mountain. Has 79,400 sq km of water. Spans 11 time zones. Most people there speak Russian. It's type of govenment is Federation.
