Photosynthesis Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis summary Photosynthesis [photosynthesis: The chemical change

Photosynthesis is a process through which plants and some certain types of bacteria get energy from the sun’s UV-rays and use it to create and store sugar that is transformed into ATP by cellular respiration later on in the process. In plants‚ this process takes place in chloroplasts‚ which concentrate in the mesophyll cells‚ with the help of chlorophyll‚ the green pigment‚ which is directly involved in photosynthesis. It is important to understand that we see leaves green simply because the green

Photosynthesis (pron.: /foʊtoʊˈsɪnθəsɪs/; from the Greek φώτο- [photo-]‚ "light‚" and σύνθεσις [synthesis]‚ "putting together"‚ "composition") is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism’s activities. Photosynthesis occurs in plants‚ algae‚ and many species of bacteria‚ but not in archaea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautotrophs‚ since they can create their own food. In plants

Aerobic Activities Aerobic Activities are “activities using large muscle groups at moderate intensities that permit the body to supply energy and to maintain a steady state for more than a few minutes” according to TheFitConnection. Basically‚ aerobic activities are exercises that generally utilize oxygen in order to fuel the body for physical activity. They get your heart rate up and make you breathe harder. Common examples of aerobic activities include running‚ cycling‚ and skiing over large

Water Aerobics Water aerobics has been a strong growing type of exercise for many age groups for years. Water aerobics is a combination of arm and leg movements done in water for beginners. This type of aerobic exercise is typically done for less than an hour. This includes the same type of program as land aerobics with warm up and cool down periods. Swimming exercise uses more of the overall muscle mass of the body than almost any other form of exercise. (Water aerobics‚ "What is water aerobics"
