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.

Why the food making process in plants is called photosynthesis?

Photo. The light reaction where light energy is turned into energy carrying molecules of ATP and NADPH.

Synthesis. The light independent reactions of the Calvin cycle where those energy rich molecules give up there electrons, carbon dioxide is fixed and sugar in the form of glyceraldihyde-3-phosphate is made.

Are raw materials and product the same?

No. Raw materials are the materials that make up the product before anything is done to them; i.e. they are the materials that you start with. So for example, if I wanted to make a cake, the flour, sugar and eggs would be the raw materials; and the cake would be the product.

How do you prove that cellular respiration an anabolic process in photosynthesis?

basically you need to have so muck swag and then you need to get some yolo. Then go to Hogwards and YELL I GOT YOLO SWAG! Trust me, i am a dolphin. :)

What is the sole energy supplier for photosynthesis?

The sun is the ultimate supplier of all energy on earth, it lets the plant create glucose that it burns during photosynthesis for energy to create more glucose.

Hope this helps!

Does photosynthesis releases moisture into the atmosphere?

No, photosynthesis is the food making process for plants which uses the formula; Carbon Dioxide+ Water + light (energy)=glucose + Energy, OR , CO2 + H2O+light (energy) = Glucose + Energy. This process occurs in the leaf but does not cause transpiration.

How is Z enzyme important for photosynthesis?

It decomposes H2O into H+ molecules and O2. The oxygen is useful for every breathing organism. The H+ are then used to reduce NADP to NAPDH, necessary for glucose synthesis later on in the processes. The Z enzyme also transfers electrons to an electron acceptor.

When carbon dioxide and oxygen enter a leaf what can undergo photosynthesis?

Since carbon dioxide is present, the chloroplast will undergo photosynthesis. However, if carbon dioxide level is very low, C3 plants will end up using oxygen instead, which is called photorespiration.

What is Carbon 3 Plants?

You must mean.....,

Crassulacean acid metabolism plants. Cam 3.

These plants are adapted to arid areas and keep their stomata closed during the day to conserve water. At night they take in CO2 and fix it in a form called malate. Then during the day they run the photosynthetic process.

What is the pigment found in this organelle that absorbs light in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the green chemical in the chloroplasts of photosynthesizing organisms that allows them to capture solar energy to make food.

What photosynthesis waste product is formed in photosynthesis?

In aerobic respiration the waste products in photosynthesis are oxygen (O2) and water (H2O) and in anaerobic respiration, the waste products include carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

I think that's all! = D

What are the physical factor that influence photosynthesis?

Physical factors that influence photosynthesis include light intensity, temperature, and carbon dioxide concentration. Optimal levels of these factors are needed for efficient photosynthesis to occur in plants. Changes in any of these factors can impact the rate of photosynthesis.

What does plants and other photosynthetic organism such as algae take in?

Plants and photosynthetic organisms like algae take in carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to perform photosynthesis, which is the process by which they convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This glucose is used as a source of energy to fuel their growth and metabolism.

The benefits of having several different pigments is that?

Having several different pigments allows organisms to exhibit a wide range of colors, helping with camouflage, attracting mates, and warning predators of potential danger. This variety of pigments also provides protection from harmful UV radiation and helps regulate temperature by absorbing or reflecting light differently.

Why transpiration is a price paid for photosynthesis?

Okay, for plants to gain energy they break down sunlight through their cells in the way that is called photosynthesis. However, to do this, cells must keep their leaves open and faced towards the sunlight. Transpiration is like us sweating: we loose water in the process to cool down. The heat, air pressure, and solar radiation contribute to this. Because plants need energy, they have to open up and allow transpiration to happen. While they loose water, they gain energy. They just soak up more water from the ground. That is another reason why, if it is in a drought, that plants wither and die. They not only don't have enough water to keep themselves "fed" but the air is soaking up water when they gain energy.

WHY do cells do photosynthesis?

Plants need Carbon for living.Photosynthesis gives carbon for plants.

What is a photosynthometer?

A photosynthometer is a device used to measure or assess the rate of photosynthesis in plants, typically by measuring the uptake of carbon dioxide or the release of oxygen. It provides a way to evaluate the efficiency of photosynthesis under different conditions or in response to various factors.

What wavelengths do photosystems I and II prefer?

The photosystems are named after the wavelength for which they are the most reactive. Photosystem II is P680 which means that it has the highest reavtivity when light that is 680 nanometers (nm) hits it. Photosystem I works off the same principle; however, it is named P700 because the optimal wavelength for it is 700 nm.

What is a real world application of photosynthesis?

photovoltic and photoelectrochemical cells <-- google that

Alage for biofuel <-- or that!

What can produce chemical energy other than photosynthesis?

Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or, to transform other chemical substances.

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities. Green plants transform solar energy to chemical energy using chlorophyll. Similarly, electrical energy can be converted to chemical energy through electrochemical reactions.

It happens in Electrolysis, Electrochemical cells, Batteries, e.t.c., Chemical energy is very important in both in both nature and industry.

What are two phrases in photosynthesis?

There are two steps. Light dependent and light independant reactions
