Photosynthesis Essay

What is the importance of plankton in oceans and food chains? Plankton are essential in oceans and food chains worldwide. Phytoplankton specifically, are the primary producers providing food for Zooplankton, which together they formulate the foundation of the oceanic food chain. They are also a vital food source for larger animals.Phytoplankton are responsible for most of the transfer of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the ocean. What is the difference between phytoplankton and…

The Accuracy of Parts from The Martian The Martian is a fictional movie about an astronaut, Mark Watney, who gets stranded during the third manned mission to Mars and his survival story. This story can be broken down into three main parts. How he was stranded, what he did to survive, and the rescue mission to return him back to Earth. Each of these categories have smaller sub-sections to them. While analyzing pieces of the main parts in the movie, scientific accuracies and inaccuracies can…

can be attributed directly and indirectly to these microorganisms. Photosynthesis was "co-opted from a precocious and ancient form of life known as cyanobacteria" (Kasting and Siefert 2002, p.1066). Cyanobacteria provided oxygen to the Earth's atmosphere along with nitrogen in the Earth's oceans (Kasting and Siefert 2002). Thus the evolution of the Earth's atmosphere is linked to the development of oxygen through photosynthesis, a process that began 800 million years ago (Rasool 1967, p.1467).…

temperatures get really low, precipitation could also be snow. The fourth step of the water cycle is transpiration. Transportation is a form of evaporation. In transpiration through, water is turned into vapors by plants. The plants use the water for photosynthesis, and the extra water gets pushed out through little holes in the leaves. That is when the water enters the biosphere in a gas like…

million years ago. Carbon dioxide concentrations are rising mostly because of the fossil fuels that people are burning for energy, such as like coal and oil. Those two fossil fuels contain carbon that plants pulled out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis over the span of many millions of years; we are returning that carbon to the atmosphere in just a few hundred…

structure. Microtubules are found in Cilia and Flagella and are tiny 'tube' structures that aid the cell is transporting particles around the cytoplasm. In a plant cell, the chloroplasts are plastids that have chlorophyll and are the location where photosynthesis occurs. The Cell wall is found only in plant cells and provides structure as well as security for the…

further used by enzymes around the thylakoids to synthesize carbohydrates. Photosynthesis is an important process that manufactures sugars for plant cells. In the process, light energy is used to manufacture sugars and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. Oxygen produced in photosynthesis is essential for sustaining the life of human beings and other living things. Mitochondria also depend on the oxygen gas produced by photosynthesis to generate…

The purpose of this EEI is to create and analyse an experiment that relates to and supports the theory of osmosis in biological cells. Cells are the biological building block for all life; all living organisms have cells also. Cells provide structure, absorb nutrients from food and convert those nutrients into energy so that the cell can carry out specialized functions. There are two main categories with most organisms and their cells; prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The distinctive difference…

Animals and plants all of the world help each other in a certain way. Some more than others but they all benefit from one another. I claim that changes to living/non-living parts of an ecosystem do impact populations within the ecosystem. With the cat, Lynx, there was a lot of things it helps with. For example, the Lynx eats rabbits and deer. Since rabbits and deer eat leaves and grass, with less of the population there are more space for grass and leaves to grow which help get rid of…

In my perspective, the Poverty/Hunger issue is in a much better state than it was before but it hasn’t been resolved completely. This issue has two very different points of view, one that some of us have long worried about massive levels of future starvation, while others have forgotten that some people around the world don’t have food available to them and think it already has been resolved or diminished to the point where is no longer a big issue. Since the percent of people starving has…
