is divided into two parts. The first part is known as the light-dependent reactions which undergo in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast‚ and the second part is the calvin cycle which occurs in the chloroplast stroma. In order for a plant to undergo photosynthesis‚ it requires sunlight as its common source of energy. During the light dependent reactions‚ pigment and chlorophyll molecules in photosystems 1 and 2 absorb photons of light from the sun. The energy in photosystem 2 is used to excite

INVESTIGATE A FACTOR AFFECTING THE RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Introduction Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction which takes place inside the green plants (plants with chlorophyll‚ a pigment found in chloroplasts which causes the colour of the plants and it is the main photosynthetic pigment) and light energy is converted into chemical energy. Carbon dioxide‚ water and sunlight is transformed into sugar an oxygen‚ which later will be used as energy for the plant. The chemical equation of photosynthesis

sun’s light waves are absorbed and captured by the plant’s leaves to perform Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in organelles within plant leaves called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll‚ a light absorbing pigment that in different variations absorbs different wavelengths of light‚ as well as other light absorbing pigments like carotenoids and hydrocarbons (Campbell‚ 2008). Chlorophyll a and b along with carotenoids each have a different absorption spectrum that allows them to

Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process during which a plant’s chlorophyll traps light energy and sugars (glucose) are produced. In plants‚ photosynthesis occurs only in cells with chloroplasts. Water (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2) and light energy are required. The light energy is absorbed by the green pigment‚ chlorophyll‚ and is converted into chemical energy‚ which causes the water drawn from the soil to split into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen combines with the carbon dioxide

oxidation and reduction. Photosynthesis takes water and carbon dioxide to make glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration takes glucose and oxygen to make water and carbon dioxide. ● Chloroplasts have an outer and inner membrane. There is intermembrane space and thylakoid space. There is stroma and grana and thylakoid. Chloroplasts are found in mesophyll cells. ●The thylakoids is the part that most light energy is converted into chemical energy. Plants produce oxygen by photosynthesis and breaking the

Investigation into the photosynthetic activity of isolated chloroplasts from spinach beet to various light conditions. Introduction Chlorophyll‚ an important pigment in chloroplasts‚ is an essential component in photosynthesis; converting electromagnetic radiation from the sun into potential chemical energy. Photons excite electrons in chlorophyll which move through the electron transport chain‚ resulting in energy being stored in the bonds of ATP and NADPH. The flow of electron through the electron

Plastids‚ the most notable being the chloroplasts‚ which contain chlorophyll a green coloured pigment which is used for absorbing sunlight and is used by a plant to make its own food in the process is known as photosynthesis. Other types of plastid are the amyloplasts‚ specialized for starch storage‚ elaioplasts specialized for fat storage‚ and chromoplasts specialized for synthesis and storage of pigments.
