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 does the equation of photosynthesis mean?
The equation for photosynthesis is: 6H2O + 6 CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 The numerals in each part of the equation (without balancing it) mean: H2 = 2 atoms of Hydrogen O = 1 atom of Oxygen } H2O=water C = 1 atom of Carbon O2 = 2 atoms of Oxygen } CO2= Carbon Dioxide C6 = 6 atoms of Carbon H12 = 12 atoms of Hydrogen O6= 6 atoms of Oxygen } C6H12O6 } Glucose O2 = 2 atoms of Oxygen } O2 = Oxygen When balanced: 6H2O = 6 molecules of water 6CO2 = 6 molecules of Carbon dioxide C6H12O6 = Glucose 6O2 = 6 molecules of Oxygen
What is the adaptation that allows plants to perform photosynthesis?
Plant cells contain chloroplasts which allow them to perform photosynthesis.
The photo-chemical reaction that takes place in the presence of sunlight and is the source of food for everyone is called photosynthesis.
What is the P20 product used for?
P20 is a brand of sunscreen. Sunscreen is a type of thick liquid that is stored in a container or tube, similar to liquid soap or petroleum jelly. This product is spread on exposed skin before going out into the sun to protect against sunburns.
Why is it dangerous to sit in locked dark room at night with only plants?
I don't see anything dangerous in this - strange, yes, but not dangerous.
The substances that are needed for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. During cellular respiration, the cells convert food into usable energy.
What organism that makes energy during photosynthesis?
A plant makes glucose and oxygen out of CO2, hydrogen, sunlight, and chlorophyll. It releases oxygen and "eats' the glucose for energy.
Which of the following gases do plants ues in photosynthesis?
I assume you are looking for carbon dioxide.
Can plants immediately use the food they make from photosynthesis?
Yes, they can make starch, cellulose or put the sugars made in photosynthesis right into their mitochondria to be turned into ATP energy to do cellular work.
What photosynthetic phase takes place in the stroma?
The light-independent reactions, or Calcin cycle, takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts. This cycle produces the complex sugars needed for cellular respiration.
How sunlight is the primary source even though humans do not go through photosynthesis?
Think about the food chain. Although, yes, humans do not perform photosynthesis, we get our energy from other organisms, some of which, do. When we consume plants or animals that eat plants, we are consuming energy that had been taken from the sun's energy.
Is sugar made into other compounds such as cellulose in photosynthesis?
false this term is refered to as glucose
What two groups of reactions make photosynthesis together?
1. Light dependent reaction (z- scheme reaction)
2. Calvin cycle
What is a gas that moves out of a green leaf during photosynthesis?
Oxygen is the gas released during the process of photosynthesis.
How does photosynthesis cause carbon to cycle through the earth?
Are photosynthesis cause carbon to cycle through the earth.
Which compound is a major energy carrier in the process of photosynthesis?
it is "atp"Adenosine-5'-triphosphate is a nucleoside triphosphate used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often called the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer.
Do plants need water to hydrate themselves?
Yes plants need water to hydrate themself just like we have do drink water and we can only live a few days without it.
