Photosynthesis

Hailey Jo Moyle Communications F131X February 19, 2017 Title: Algae and its Many Green Faces Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, my audience will be aware of the many benefits algae has on the environment. Thesis: Algae can be used to fight environmental devastation. Introduction: Extreme events, the increase in carbon dioxide levels, and the increase in overall temperatures are all signs of rapid climate change. It’s likely that the current warming trend is human induced. Our…

Because of the lack of water in arid regions, there is a great need to optimize agricultural water consumption. Thus, water conserving is becoming a decisive consideration for agriculture, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where water is the main limiting factor for plant growth (Moftah and AL-Humaid 2005). Indeed, plants are prodigal in the water use because only roughly 5% of water uptake is used for its growth and development while the remaining 95% is lost for transpiration (Prakash…

bandages, but they are far more important to the natural environment. They clean the surrounding water and take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Seagrasses have been called the “lungs of the sea” since they can make 10 liters of oxygen through photosynthesis every day. They also take in nutrients and capture sand, dirt, and silt. The roots trap and stabilize sediment which keeps water clear and clean and prevents erosion of coastlines. Because of all these benefits, seagrasses…

By not altering one of the plants level of sun exposure, it meant that neither of the plants had an advantage over the other by using the sun to photosynthesize. Plants in warmer climates lose extra water through photosynthesis compared to plants that may be in a shadier and much cooler area, as they are not constantly exposed to the sunlight. If one of the plants were exposed to a warmer environment with different atmospheric temperatures and heavy exposure to sunlight…

sea slug's solar-energy theory 1) Why are chloroplasts important for plants? Chloroplasts are important for plants because they contain Chlorophyll, used in photosynthesis. The Chlorophyll is what made it possible for plants to absorb and process the sun's energy and combine it with carbon dioxide and water to grow and make food. Photosynthesis also releases oxygen for humans to breath. 2) List two reasons and explain why the chloroplasts were helpful for the sea slug. One reason for why the…

then can attach themselves to the coral already there and develops lots of coral reefs grouped together. Photosynthetic algae called zooxanthellae live in the coral’s tissues, protecting them from diseases and providing compounds they need for photosynthesis. Most people may not…

The process of photosynthesis is composed of two phases: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. The first stage (light-dependent reactions) occurs in the thylakoid membrane, which absorbs light energy to create NADPH and a proton gradient used to power the synthesis of ATP. The latter occurs in the stroma, and results in carbon dioxide fixation. In this experiment, only the light-dependent reactions were studied. 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol (DCPIP) was used as an artificial…

Chloroplast (Plant cells only) - Small oval structure containing chlorophyll giving the chloroplast a green pigment. Chloroplast uses the sun’s energy to create food for the plant, this is known as photosynthesis. Cell wall (Plant cells only) - Provides structure and protection to the cell in the form of an outer layer. This organelle lets H2O, CO2, and O2 pass through it. One large vacuole (Plant cells only) - Large sac filled with fluids. The vacuole in a plant cell stores, large amounts…

and yield of fruits was normal when there was successive reduction of pot capacity from 100% to 50%, whereas there was declining trend of photosynthetic activities in S. macrocarpon. The plant performance was declined drastically even at 50% PC. Photosynthesis is an important physiological process occurring in all green plants. Low photosynthetic rate is one of the negative effects of water stress in plants as plants close the stomata to reduce water loss that blocks the uptake of CO2 from air…

Looking ahead in the future, this development could be used on a larger scale and sent up into the atmosphere where the remaining emissions are and collect the CO2 to convert it into usable oxygen (Lewis and Writer 2014). This idea of mimicking the photosynthesis cycle through synthetic instruments is immaculate and hopefully the solution to ending the crisis of pollution by…
