Photosynthesis

plants cannot survive in total darkness and how darkness &light affect the growth of a plant in different ways. Plants cannot survive in total darkness as they use the suns energy and through a process convert it into food, this process is called photosynthesis. The plants that need sunlight to survive, which are majority of plants are called autotrophs. The presence/absence of light and dark play an important role in a plants as they trigger metabolism, growth and behaviour in a plant. However…

The key reactants of this process include oxygen and glucose which yield carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is the process where light energy is converted into chemical energy. The key reactants in photosynthesis are water, light and carbon dioxide which yield glucose and oxygen. In this lab, several different carbohydrate solutions were administered to yeast, and the rate of photosynthesis was measured by the amount of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of various carbohydrates.…

improvement of nitrogen economy and soil, and the overall knowledge of photosynthesis and plant genetics. Once again, with this research being so new, the possibilities are nearly endless. The most important thing to draw from this essay is how crucial this research can become, and how many positive effects the world can benefit from. This is why the future of plant genetics and its effect on the efficiency of photosynthesis is truly vital to the future of our species and our…

sorghum. The hypothesis was refuted because the C3 plant had a greater photosynthetic productivity than the C4 plant. Possible reasons for this outcome could be that the fluctuating light and temperature made photosynthesis less efficient for C4 plants…

toxic substance which can overpower the carbon. That is why a lot of the columns that include both are mostly black because of the Sulfate-Reducers. However, in the C+S Light column, the carbon creates enough of a natural environment to allow photosynthesis to occur at the top of the column. This is why Cyanobacteria…

What makes plants grow? How do plants get energy ? Where do plants get their mass? Well Jan Baptist Van Helmont, Joseph Priestley, and Jan Ingenhousz are great scientist who did experiments about photosynthesis to have a better understanding about it. As you read this you will learn how each one came about there experiment and how they learned from it. Jan Baptist Van Helmont experiment was the willow tree. He wanted to see if plants obtained their mass for the soil. He measured the tree…

Botanical Garden, 2009). They create shelter, shade, protection and safety. Furthermore, plants control the global CO2 and O2 levels. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of the process of photosynthesis; this allows the survival of all living organisms. Finally, plants use carbon dioxide in the process of photosynthesis or store large amounts of carbon, which both significantly help reduce air…

earth's thermostat to being one of the key elements in photosynthesis, which is when plants make sugars for energy. In order for the ecosystem to function properly, all parts need an adequate supply of carbon. This is usually not a problem since nature is efficient at carbon cycling. Since the process is a cycle, we need to pick some place to begin. Carbon Cycle Steps The carbon cycle is basically a three step process involving photosynthesis and respiration. Green plants…

or photosynthesis. The process starts with a ray of sunlight, once the sunlight reaches a plant the plant uses the sunlight to help it make sugar which helps it create ATP molecules which is energy for it to live. In the process of photosynthesis there are six molecules of water, and of carbon dioxide react in the presence of chlorophyll and in sunlight to make 2 molecules of sugar, and six molecules of oxygen, which looks like 6H2O +6CO2- C6H12O6+6C2. There are two stages of photosynthesis, a…

When you’re cleaning an accidental water spill, have you ever wondered why the water gets easily absorbed by the paper towel in your hand? Have you wondered what force could have caused this phenomenon to occur? This force where water is pulled and absorbed is called capillary action. Although this force can pull water against the force of gravity, it is because of an attraction between molecules of different substances known as adhesion that water can be pulled up. Examples of adhesion include:…
