ultraviolet rays and light rays. Photosynthesis is the way in which some specialised bateria and green plants use their chlorophyll to trap light energy and then use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen. The green colour in plants is from the chemical chlorophyll which is found in the chloroplasts in the cells of the plant. It is very concentrated in the leaves of the plants due to the surface of the leaf being flat which allows it to have a very big surface area…

process where plants use light energy and convert it into chemical energy is called photosynthesis. Plants have parts of them like the chlorophyll that is present inside the chloroplast that soak in light starting a process that will end up making ATP. Carbohydrates within the plants are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. When photosynthesis occurs then sunlight is turned into sugar and this sugar is kept in the molecular bonds of the sugar molecules that are present within the plant.…

Sea slugs and aquatic plants have similar core features that allow both of them to acquire energy from light, but the sea slugs mechanism is far more involved and revolved around evolution. Elysia chlorotica, or the sea slug, have acquired the ability to conduct photosynthesis in their adult stages of life through their consumption of Vaucheria litorea. Vaucheria litorea are algae that are the primary diet of the developed sea slugs. Juvenile slugs acquire this ability when they ingest the algae…

The grand majority of plants use photosynthesis to obtain their energy to sustain. Plants perform photosynthesis by converting natural light into chemical energy *.In photosynthesis there are three different types of metabolic pathways for carbon fixation, this includes C3, C4 and CAM*. the CAM method was not observed in this lab. In the C3 method the plant converts CO2 to 3- phosphogylycerate which a 3 carbon which then enters the calvin cycle of photosynthesis *. While in the C4 methode CO2 is…

conditions on the rate of photosynthesis. The prediction for this experiment was that if a plant receives more light, then it will have a higher rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that converts carbon dioxide into sugars such as glucose using energy from the sun. It is basically how plants make their own food. In order to make this food plants need carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. Plants obtain these materials in a variety of ways. For example, carbon dioxide from the air…

Plants have four major periods of plant evolution that are marked terrestrial adaption. First is the origin of gametangia, which protects the embryo or sperm of plant. Second is the origin of vascular tissue it conduct water and nutrients. Third is the origin of seed where the embryo is protected from desiccation and other dangers. Fourth the origin of flower bear ovules within protective chambers called ovaries. Animals evolved from cells. One of the first cell was found 3.5 million…

Article 1: Scientists unravel the colorful 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…

Once a plant begins growth, it depends on multiple abiotic factors to continue growing: light, carbon dioxide and water. These three factors affect the growth rate of a plant, causing it to grow quicker or slower. Furthermore, altering these factors may stunt plants growth or improve it. For example, plants require an adequate amount of water to survive. Water hydrates the plant and also breaks down the minerals in the soil. As the plant absorbs the water, nutrients are transported into the…

Arabidopsis cell wall mutants INTRODUCTION & AIMS Plant cell walls are highly dynamic structure which is made up of polysaccharide such as cellulose. In plant cell, cellulose is synthesised at the plasma membrane by the enzyme cellulose synthase (CesA) which forms rosette structure with 18 CesA proteins in total. Mutating any of these CesA proteins is thought to interfere with the normal production of cellulose in plant. As cellulose is an important component of cell wall and is essential for…

Usually plants grow in natural sunlight, but do they grow the same in colored light? People always just put their plants outside, then leave them. Is there an effect on plants in the colored light, or is it just the same. Part of the plant is the chlorophyll, which is the part of that is responsible for the pigment or color found in the organism. It is responsible for the green color of plants, except in the fall where the pigment changes to red, yellow, or orange. This happens because the…
