    1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. Include in your paper: •Complete descriptions of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. •Describe how these two processes are linked between plants and animals based on the reactants and products (water‚ carbon dioxide‚ glucose and oxygen) of both pathways. •Include a description of how energy is transferred from sunlight to ATP‚ from ATP to sugars‚ and from sugars

    Biology 11 December 12 ‚ 2012 Photosynthesis and global warming Introduction: Photosynthesis can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. It represents a sink for carbon dioxide in the environment. Reducing forests and other vegetation can produce a net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Therefore‚ more photosynthesis might act to reduce global warming. On the other hand‚ this is a more complicated title than it appears at first. Photosynthesis: The process in green plants

    Sugar – All Sweetness and Light? Sugar in all its forms is officially a simple carbohydrate. This means the body will convert is into glucose which is then available as energy. Then it gets less simple. Depending on the type of sugar used our health will be impacted rather differently‚ sometimes bad‚ sometimes very bad depending on using either natural or refined types of sugar. Whereas the usual over use of any sugar is likely to add fat and body weight and also play havoc with blood sugar levels

    INTRODUCTION Overall‚ light energy drives a flow of electrons along a system of carriers from H2O to NADP+. The carriers are bound to the membrane between reaction centres. Though their precise arrangement is not known‚ the carriers seem to be organized so that the electron flow cause H+ to move from the stroma to the space within the thylakoids. The resulting difference in H+ concentration across the membrane represents a store of energy that is though to drive he formation of ATP. According to

    The Effect of Different Colored Light on Plant Growth Results I measured each plant on days 7‚ 9‚ 11‚ 13‚ 15‚ 20‚ and 32‚ after planting. The plants under the green cellophane grew the most in every measurement. The biggest growth spurt for the plants under the green cellophane was from day seven to day nine. By day 13‚ the plants under the purple and red cellophane started to grow at similar rates as compared with those under the green cellophane. By day 32‚ the plants underneath the green

    determining the spectrum of light each absorbs. By using paper chromatography‚ different pigments of spinach leaves can be separated. The knowledge gained in this experiment is relevant to understanding how the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources‚ as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the path to replace fossil fuels (Nath‚ 237). Photosynthesis converts light received from the sun into

    shows above‚ the more light there is shining on the plant‚ the more bubbles there are per minute. Although it dips from time to time‚ the experiment with two lights always have a higher average than the previous ones. This means that the light intensity actually has an impact on the plant’s photosynthesis levels. The reason that there are more bubbles in the experiments with more light is because of the oxygen release rate. With more light intensity‚ the rate of photosynthesis happens faster. Since

    In light reactions‚ the goal is to transfer solar kinetic energy to chemical potential energy. This is first done by the absorption of a photon of light. Plant pigments are molecules that selectively absorb light energy at wavelengths. A pigment molecule absorbs a photon of light one of pigments electrons jumps to an energy level further than the nucleus. The electron has more potential energy here. The electron now has raised from the ground state to an excited state. Pigments of photosynthesis 1

    Photosynthesis is a crucial energy conversion process that occurs in the chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells. The rate of photosynthetic activity holds importance in environmental‚ horticultural and agricultural situations. (Boardman‚ N.K. 1977). Pigments in the chloroplasts thylakoid membrane absorb the electromagnetic radiation from a light source and release an electron into the electron transport chain.
