The formula for photosynthesis (abv. photos.) is: Light Energy + Co2 + H20 --------> Carbohydrate + Oxygen As a whole, photos. takes place in the chloroplasts of a plant cell. There are two main reactions that occur during photos. The light-dependent reaction and the light-independent reaction. Each reaction takes place within a different section of the chloroplasts. The Thylakoids are the sight of the light-dependent reactions. Thylakoids look like little green coins. When they are stacked, they are called grana. Light dependent reactions are very complicated. They involve two photosystems, called photosystem II and I. Each photosystem has it's own little reaction that is complicated. PS I makes ATP and PS II makes ATP + HADPH. PS II is famous for spliting H2O's into H+ and O2. The stroma is the sight of the light indepentdent reactions. Stroma is the gel-like area outside of the thylakoids. As the name suggests, these reactions don't require light. This is called the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin Cycle pretty much takes 3CO2 and changes it into 6 PGAL's + 3C.

What is an organism that can create its own food through photosynthesis?

For an organism to do photosynthesis the organism must have Chloroplast. The only organisms that can do photosynthesis are plants.


An organsim that makes its own food?

An organism that makes its own food is called an autotroph or producer. These organisms are able to use energy from sunlight (photosynthesis) or inorganic compounds (chemosynthesis) to create organic nutrients that serve as their food source. Examples include plants, algae, and some bacteria.


Why must animals eat food but plants do not have to?

To tell you the truth plants DO eat, you just never see them do it. Here's how it works. The plants take carbon dioxide and and energy and the plant mixes it up and it turns into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is the plants food. So there you have it. plants do kind of eat it they using the energy from sunlight called Photosynthesis i think


Why photosynthetic tissues are not found in animals?

Animals do not have chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants, so they are not capable of producing their own food through photosynthesis. Animals have evolved to obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter, rather than creating their own energy from sunlight like plants do.


Picture of an animal that produces its own food?

Plants are examples of organisms that produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose, which serves as their energy source.

How do plants get the ingredients for photosynthesis?

plants get ingredients for photosynthesis from water and minerals from the ground and sunlight from the sun. the correct formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Can photosynthesis turn plants green?

No, photosynthesis does not turn plants green. Photosynthesis uses light to create glucose and oxygen with carbon dioxide and water. Plants are green due to the chlorophyll found inside them. It is the chlorophyll that makes photosynthesis possible.

What is the gross primary productivity formula used to calculate the amount of energy produced by plants through photosynthesis in an ecosystem?

The gross primary productivity formula is: Gross Primary Productivity Rate of Photosynthesis - Rate of Respiration. This formula calculates the amount of energy produced by plants through photosynthesis in an ecosystem.


What do plants use the energy to do?

Plants harness the energy from our sun to create chlorophyll from the process of photosynthesis. Plants use the energy of sunlight to synthesize the hexose sugars by photosynthesis in their chloroplasts.
