SOLANO MARIANNE KRISTELLE E. YARRA INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis sustains almost all of the living world directly or indirectly. It is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy of sugars and other organic compounds. The process depends on the interaction between two sets of reactions‚ namely the

membrane has proteins embedded in it. The pigment chlorophyll is embedded in specialized proteins within the thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light‚ but not green. This is what gives plants their green color. When light strikes chlorophyll‚ it absorbs one photon and loses one electron. The electron is now in a higher state of potential energy and is unstable. This electron is passed down a chain of modified chlorophyll molecules creating an electron transport chain. The

endothermic‚ therefore the energy is ‘light’ from the sun. This is absorbed by a green substance called chlorophyll in the leaf. Therefore‚ photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts which are present in the palisade cells (found near the top of the leaf.) (fig: 1 ) As chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll‚ which absorbs light energy needed to make photosynthesis happen. The equation for this reaction is:

photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis is a process that is essential for every living organism. Organic substances‚ such as glucose‚ are made from carbon dioxide and water by light energy from the sun. The light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy. During the process‚ oxygen is released as a by-product. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by a few of factors‚ including light intensity‚ temperature‚ availability of water and carbon dioxide concentration

colors. Blue light has a higher energy in the color spectrum and chlorophyll a and b absorbeds blue light better. Referring to the table‚ one can see that green caused the least amount of growth. This is because chlorophyll reflects green light‚ thus causing plants to take the appearance of being green.

basic. Pigments: Pigment Any coloring matter in plant or animal cells that reflects light of certain wavelengths while also bringing light of other wavelengths without producing appreciable luminessence used to impart color to other material. Chlorophyll is a green pigment with a ring structure similar to HEME molecule in animal blood. It is the most common

falling leaves‚ twigs‚ logs‚ and dead organisms. Fall- the leaves begin to lose their green color as the chlorophyll inside the leaves goes away. The red and orange that is always associated with fall come into play now‚ since they are always in the leaf‚ the only reason the leaf is green is because chlorophyll are inside the cells‚ but during the cold weather the trees loses the chlorophyll.
