This process takes place in chloroplasts‚ which is a plastid that contains chlorophyll and involves two interlinked reactions‚ which are light dependent reactions and light independent reactions. Throughout our lab experiment‚ we focused on the affect access of light has on carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide levels decrease as oxygen levels increase and glucose is produced when light dependent reactions occur. Light energy is absorbed by photo pigments and is used to raise a electron

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: 6CO2 + 6H2O+ light energy

hydrogen to them. In prokaryotes instead of chloroplast they use their own cell membranes to do the job. Wavelength also has a role in photosynthesis because they have just the right amount of energy to excite chlorophyll electrons boosting them to a higher energy level. When summing everything up the reactants are carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and the suns energy and the process is light dependent and the Calvin cycle. The products include oxygen and glucose. Pigments serve as photosynthetic organisms that

of energy is known as respiration. Without respiration‚ photosynthesis would not be able to perform. The process of photosynthesis is able to perform its duties with the help of an organelle called chloroplast as well. Within the chloroplasts lie thylakoids‚ a membrane system that contains pigments which are used to capture light energy. Photosynthesis is also responsible for reducing carbon dioxide into glucose‚ because reducing power is present. Reducing power is made after electrons get excited

water samples that were collected from the Pacific coast of Japan (unpublished results). Among the isolates‚ a novel‚ highly selective astaxanthin-producing marine bacterium‚ labeled strain (N-5)‚ was isolated based on its ability to produce orange pigment on NA plate after 2 days of cultivation at 30 °C. Strain N-5 formed colonies that were medium in size (1.0−2.0 mm in diameter)‚ circular‚ shiny‚ and orange (Figure 1B). Unless otherwise specified‚ all characteristics described hereafter are those
