Know About Photosynthesis

Improved Essays
Most people know the basic stuff of photosynthesis, but that most of what people know. People just assume that plants just magically developed photosynthesis, never really think of that part, but they were wrong. Someone wrote this article telling you on just how plants develop photosynthesis. Photosynthesis has a lot more information that people give it credit for. How many do you really know about photosynthesis?
1) Plants gained the ability to photosynthesis by stealing it over time. Over time it would transfer genes that absorbed bacteria became an important part of protist.
2) A complex process called endosymbiosis is absorbing living things to create something new in biology.
3) It was only one microscopic protist that made the color

1) When they say the ability to photosynthesize was stolen a billion and half a years ago, and it said it was stole over time, how long did it take to steal it completely? 2) It said the complex process called endosymbiosis is absorbing living things to make something new in biology, what exactly is it making? 3) The color blue takes over three quarters of the plant, but why is the “color”of earth green? 4) How are the able to tell that the stealing process happened almost to billion years ago? 5) Who was the person that discovered the way plants develop photosynthesis?

4. Photosynthesis is a huge part of biology, but the big question that the author is trying to explain is plants develop photosynthesis. One of the big things that is pointed out is that plants use light which is a big part of earth's existence, the question that is asked is “how they gained the ability to photsynzie,” and the ended up stealing it about two billion years ago. It was stole when single celled organism (which are called protists) engulfed photosynthesizing bacteria. It’s a very complex process which is called endosymbiosis that basically contains a cell like protist for some odd reason absorbs other living things to create something new in biology. This article is taking photosynthesis and breaking it down into stuff when would never even think of, that’s why it’s related to this

    Plants change the sunlight's energy into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis. Pigments in the plants called chlorophyll, absorb photons from the sun. Glucose is the main source nutrition in plants. Two reactions happen in the Photosynthesis that are the light reactions, also known as light dependent reactions, and dark reactions, also known as light independent reactions. The dark reactions are sometimes called the Calvin cycle, C3 Cycle, or Carbon Fixation.…

    Support the Endosymbiotic Theory Gianna Melendez Chamberlain College of Nursing Support the Endosymbiotic Theory The endosymbiotic theory proposes that eukaryotes formed from the union of small aerobic prokaryotes with larger anaerobic prokaryotes, which form organelles. The smaller prokaryotes were not destroyed by the larger cells, but instead became internal parasites that remained surrounded by a vesicular membrane of the host. The theory proposed that mitochondria are the result of endocytosis of aerobic bacteria and chloroplasts are the result of endocytosis of photosynthetic bacteria.…

    1.1.1 Describe photosynthesis and how it works in internal plant processes. Photosynthesis is a process which plants make food from sunlight. The plants convert light energy to chemical energy. The converted chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. There are two main process in photosynthesis.…

    The article “ When Did Photosynthesis Emerge on Earth?” was written by the principal investigator of the Ames Research Center team of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, David Des Marais. His experience has led him to publish more than 160 technical articles and chapters on many research topics such as the biogeochemical carbon cycle and the early evolution of the Earth and its biosphere. In this particular article, Des Marais establishes that life dates back to 3800 years ago and that not only its great antiquity easily illustrates how life can arise on a habitable planet, but also how it can definitely be a sign of the challenges that involves becoming familiar with our predecessors. In order to provide an accurate time of evolutionary innovations and its environmental context, the author sustains that geological records and biological information complement each other as a key-lock. “The geologic record offers the absolute timing of evolutionary innovations and their environmental context, while the living biochemical record can reveal the sequence of development of key pathways and biomolecules.”…

    Cells in the leaves contain chloroplasts which captures energy from sunlight. Through a chemical reaction, sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are combined to produce glucose, a sugar that provides most of the energy that plants use. A byproduct of this process is oxygen, which is essential for other organisms’ survival. This entire process is called photosynthesis, in which plant cells make…

    Photosynthesis and sexual reproduction are the two main turning points in the history of life, because the ability to process energy from sunlight, random variation and non-random selection allowed for evolutionary growth and the survival of life. Photosynthesis, an important process of energy transformation is crucial in the development of metabolic microorganisms, as well as the evolutionary changes from primitive to more complex life. Sexual reproduction displays a significant evolutionary change in the exchange of genetic code and information, emphasising on the importance of DNA and genetic mutations. Essential to the functioning of life, photosynthesis was a major turning point in the development of evolution as it meant that bacteria…

    During the Proterozoic and Archaean eras, the oxygen that all life forms depend on today was produced by numerous cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria contributed to the origin of plants, the chloroplast present in plants is a symbiotic cyanobacterium living within the plant’s cell. Cyanobacteria are heterocysts that are capable of nitrogen fixation; they convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for plants such as nitrate or ammonia. Cyanobacteria are very important in today’s ecology, as many life forms would not be able to survive without…

    The Scientists infected one of the smallest and most abundant photosynthetic microbes on the plant Synechococcus, with cyanophages that belonged to either the Red sea or the English channel. Initially the bacteria was fed bicarbonate and baking soda which contained CO2, they used baking soda that contained radioactive carbon as this enabled them to accurately measure how much carbon the bacteria was fixing. After a couple of hours the scientists brought in the viruses, the result of which was that carbon fixation stopped, and reported that bacteria which were infected with the phages of the English Channel and Red Sea fixed 4.8 to 2.3 less carbon as compared to the hosts that were uninfected, and that carbon fixation dropped regardless of the amount of light available to the bacteria. The scientists discovered that a drop in carbon fixation did not originate in the early photosynthetic processes, when they found that cyanobacteria made use of sunlight to produce energy and that both infected and infected cells converted sunlight into energy, however, the viruses took part in and interfered in the later stages of photosynthetic process when the bacteria usually uses the energy from the sunlight to fix inorganic carbon by transforming it into organic sugars. In these later stages, the marine viruses direct the energy from sunlight towards their own reproduction and prevent the bacteria from fixing the…
