"nourishing") or "producer"‚ is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates‚ fats‚ and proteins) from simple substances present in its surroundings‚ generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). * Photosynthesis (pron.: /foʊtoʊˈsɪnθəsɪs/; from the Greek [photo-]‚ "light‚" and [synthesis]‚ "putting together"‚ "composition") is a process used by plants and other organisms to

energy. 9. Explain how C4 photosynthesis is based on a spatial arrangement of structures‚ whereas CAM photosynthesis is temporally based. C4 photosynthesis is based on a spatial arrangement of structures because in C4 plants‚ light and carbon reactions are separated into different cells. The light reactions along with a carbon-fixation reaction occur in mesophyll cells‚ but the Calvin cycle occurs in the inner ring of bundle-sheath cells. However‚ CAM photosynthesis is temporally based because

Dissolved oxygen enters water through the air and plant. Dissolved oxygen produce by the atmosphere and the process is called air saturation. The gasses a stable body of water with no stratification‚ dissolved oxygen will remain at 100% air saturation. 100% air saturation means that the water is holding as many dissolved gas molecules as it can in equilibrium. At equilibrium‚ the percentage of each gas in the water would be equivalent to the percentage of that gas in the atmosphere like its partial

1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. To start off with we will need to define photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis is a process in which carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants‚ algae and certain bacteria using energy from the sun and chlorophyll (dictionary.com). Respiration is all of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen

EXPERIMENT – 9 To Prove that Light is Necessary for Photosynthesis. Aim : To show experimentally that light is necessary for photosynthesis. Requirements : A potted plant‚ iodine solution‚ black paper strip‚ paper clips‚ water bath. EXPERIMENT PLEASE VIEW THE ANIMATION FILE FOR THE PROCEDURE Observation : 1) The region of the leaf which was exposed to sunlight turns blue in colour. 2) The region of the leaf covered with black strip turns brownish in colour

Courtney S. 4th Period SINKERS and FLOATERS Purpose:The purpose of this investigation is to provide an overview of photosynthesis and to design and conduct an experiment to test the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis. Hypothesis:If 10 leaf discs are placed into 2 plungers and placed under a lamp the CO2 rate will speed up the process of photosynthesis. Materials: -Fluorescent lamp - Hole punch - 1 Sharpie marker -20 leaf discs -Syringes -12 mL cups Data Table Start 2 4 6 8

The Calvin Cycle Plants use energy from the sun in tiny energy factories called chloroplasts. Using chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis‚ they convert the sun’s energy into storable form in ordered sugar molecules such as glucose. In this way‚ carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil in a more disordered state are combined to form the more ordered sugar molecules. Carbon dioxide is captured in a cycle of reactions known as the Calvin cycle or the Calvin-Benson cycle after
