Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae (Kingdom Protista). Plants need only light energy‚ CO2‚ and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts‚ specifically using chlorophyll‚ the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves‚ and little to none occurs in stems‚ etc. The parts of a typical leaf

Elodea & Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product. Introduction This lab has been created in order to find what extent does distance from a light source (5cm‚ 10cm‚ and 15cm) affect the rate of photosynthesis (measured in bubbles / 3 min) in Elodea water plants.

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

Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process to which some autotrophs such as plants produce their own food. It has two stages or reactions light-dependent and light-dependent reactions. The light dependent reactions are the first stage‚ where energy from sunlight is captures in Photosystem 2 and then 1‚ the electrons generated in Photosystem 1 then moves along the electron transport chain. The moving of electrons causes a hydrogen ion gradient that is used in the final step to produce ATP‚ by the

complexes. Chlorophyll molecules use their energy to strip water molecules‚ and biological molecules then adding 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

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which plants‚ some bacteria‚ and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar‚ which cellular respiration converts into ATP‚ the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy‚ is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time‚ the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen. Cellular respiration
