Photosynthesis

Two phases are at equilibrium when the rate of their interconversion is equal in both directions. This means that the amount of substance transitioning from one phase to another is the same in both directions, resulting in a stable balance between the phases.

For photosynthesis, plants need water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight (or photons).

The water provides electrons, the sunlight provides the energy, and CO2 provides a carbon source.

The oxygen atoms in the oxygen gas produced by photosynthesis come from water molecules that are split during the light-dependent reactions. The oxygen molecules released are a byproduct of this process.

1. In a controlled photosynthesis pond algae can be used to break down organic wastes.

2. Cultivating algae to produce biofuel.

3. Carbon dioxide mitigation through controlled photosynthesis.

4. Surgery for the treatment of gas gangrene is performed under conditions of hyperbaric oxygen because the organisms causing it are anaerobic. Antibiotics and oxygen combine to kill them more effectively than antibiotics alone because they live only in the absence of oxygen.

5. Polymixins are antibiotics that work by inhibiting bacterial respiration.

6. Other classes of drugs work by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic bacteria.

High-energy electrons generated during the light reactions of photosynthesis are used to create a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane. This gradient drives the production of ATP, providing the energy needed for the light-independent reactions. Additionally, the high-energy electrons are used to reduce NADP+ to NADPH, which is essential for the synthesis of sugars during photosynthesis.

The 3 carbon compounds that do not leave the Calvin cycle are recycled back into the cycle to regenerate RuBP (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) for further carbon fixation. This recycling process ensures the efficient use of carbon for photosynthesis.

These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.

An organism that uses sunlight to make sugar from water and carbon dioxide is a plant. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into energy that is used to synthesize glucose from water and carbon dioxide.

Oxygen is released as a by product of photosynthesis.

An organism is any living thing, so a plant is an organism. Maybe you're thinking of cells, as a plant grows cells divide forming new cells, this is called mitosis. Photosynthesis is how plants get energy from sunlightand has nothing to do with how many cells the plant has.

In the stroma of the chloroplast, the Calvin cycle takes place, which is the series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Additionally, the stroma is involved in the synthesis of other organic molecules, storage of starch granules, and contains the chloroplast DNA and ribosomes for protein synthesis.

The products produced through photosynthesis are glucose (a type of sugar), oxygen, and water. These products are essential for the survival of plants and other organisms that rely on photosynthesis for energy.

Technically, ATP is produced only in the light reaction, their are 18 ATP molecules formed in it. In the dark reaction, ADP is formed by the breaking of the second and third phosphate group in ATP. Though overall in photosynthesis ATP isn't produced, it is formed in the light reaction, then broken in the dark, then recycled into the light, no over all gain or loss.

Cellular respiration is a group of reactions that break down glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids in the cell. FAD and NAD+ function as reversible hydrogen acceptors that deliver the accepted hydrogen to the electron transport chain.

in the stroma

Light reactions in plants occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. This process involves capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to produce sugars.

I have been wondering the same, myself. Most websites and publications on the subject seem to point to "no." Most chemosynthetic organisms seem to be only prokaryotes (single cell bacteria w/o nuclei) and apparently some organisms from the Archae kingdom. Most live in hydrothermal vents where they convert Hydrogen Sulfide and CO2 (all of which originates deep in the crust of these vents) into carbohydrates with sulfur as a biproduct.

The Plantae kingdom is a kingdom of multicellular organisms, of which the vast majority are all green plants, and all green plants use photosynthesis to create carbohydrates from the Sun and CO2. They are very similar in the sense that both catergories are autotrophs, but the defining factor seems to be where the ultimate source of food in the different food chains originates: the Sun or geological forces deep inside the Earth.

A plant's most active growth typically takes place at the tips of its roots and shoots, where new cells are constantly dividing and elongating. This area is known as the meristem, and it is responsible for increasing the length and height of the plant.

Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. In the context of photosynthesis, stoichiometry helps to determine the precise amounts of reactants (such as carbon dioxide and water) needed to produce a certain amount of products (such as glucose and oxygen molecules). Understanding the stoichiometry of photosynthesis is crucial for optimizing the process in different organisms and environments.

The three groups of organisms that perform photosynthesis are plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. They all have chlorophyll pigments that allow them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Plants reduce global warming by absorbing the carbon dioxide that causes global warming. Annuals release the CO2 they absorb. Deciduous tree leaves take up billions of tons of CO2 each spring, but release that CO2 back into the air each fall as they die and rot.

Trees in general pull CO2 out of the air, and hold if for hundreds of years. It takes energy to harvest those trees, saw them into lumber, and build homes out of them. But in general trees are a good way to sequester atmospheric carbon.

Photosynthesis equation:

carbon dioxide + light energy --> oxygen + sugar (energy)

so they produce oxygen

It is sometimes scientifically beneficial to breathe on or talk to your plants because when you exhale you release carbon dioxide and the plants use that by changing it to oxygen as a part of photosynthesis!

Light reaction is the first stage of the photosynthetic reaction when the sunlight is converted into the chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. ... The electron transport chain produces the NADPH and ATP via ATP synthase. Thus, the light energy gets converted to the chemical energy during light reaction.

False. Light energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis, not the citric acid cycle. The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria and are involved in the production of ATP from the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.
