In photosynthesis‚ light energy is transformed into chemical energy‚ thus chemical energy is the product. This is different from respiration because respiration transforms chemical energy into energy usable by cells; in this case chemical energy is the source. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts‚ using the chlorophyll inside of the chloroplasts‚ while respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a by-product‚ while aerobic respiration requires oxygen to even work

Photosynthesis review Short Answer 1. How do heterotrophs obtain energy? 2. What is ATP‚ and when is energy released from it? 3. Write the overall equation for photosynthesis in both symbols and words. 4. Photosystems I and II are both located in the thylakoid membrane. What advantage does their proximity provide? 5. What does the Calvin cycle do? 6. What is the difference between an autotroph and a heterotroph? Give an example of each type of organism. 7. Explain how heterotrophs

Chloroplasts and Photosynthesis All animals and most microorganisms rely on the continual uptake of large amounts of organic compounds from their environment. These compounds are used to provide both the carbon skeletons for biosynthesis and the metabolic energy that drives cellular processes. It is believed that the first organisms on the primitive Earth had access to an abundance of the organic compounds produced by geochemical processes‚ but that most of these original compounds were used up billions

possible by my AP Biology teacher’s assignment. If not for her‚ I would never have sat down and composed a four page script about Photosynthesis. I would also like to thank my supporting family for listening to my complaints and frustrations throughout this process. My gratitude goes out to the AP Bio Facebook group as well‚ for answering all the questions I had about Photosynthesis. Thank you all very much.

Name Biology-Honors Teacher December 6‚ 2012 Photosynthesis Lab 1. Introduction: Light dependent reactions are the first phase of photosynthesis. It requires light to happen and happens in the thylakoid membrane in a chloroplast. The light energy is absorbed from the sun and converted into chemical energy. Which is then stored temporarily in ATP and NADPH. Hypothesis: I predict that the wavelength intensity will affect the rate of photosynthesis more than light intensity will. 2. Data:

How does photosynthesis model the Law of Conservation of Matter and The Law of Conservation of Energy? Photosynthesis models the Law of Conservation of Matter and the Law of Conservation of Energy‚ and there is evidence from some articles that were read to prove this statement. First‚ the Law of Conservation of Matter is modeled in photosynthesis‚ because in the Photosynthesis for Kids article it stated‚”Photosynthesis occurs when Chlorophyll‚ a green pigment that collects lights‚ consumes radiant

I can model Photosynthesis with The Law of Conservation Of matter and The Law of Conservation of energy. I know this because of the articles i’ve read the articles are Discovering the secrets of Photosynthesis‚ Joseph Priestley‚ Discoverer of Oxygen and Photosynthesis: Yucky chemistry Details. Photosynthesis is a good example of the Law of conservation of Energy because in the process of Photosynthesis the radiant energy is absorbed by the plant. The radiant energy is then turned into chemical

“Respiration” and “Photosynthesis” All life depends on two chemical reactions “Respiration” and “Photosynthesis”. These two processes are quite crucial because they are a source to nearly all life on Earth. Both of these processes are quite similar yet differentiate vastly. In this essay I’ll be comparing and contrasting “Photosynthesis” and “Respiration”. I’ll start by discussing what actually happens
Premium Photosynthesis Carbohydrate
Photosynthesis is process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose. In so doing‚ photosynthesis provides the basic energy source for virtually all organisms. An extremely important byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen‚ on which most organisms depend. Photosynthesis occurs in green plants‚ seaweeds‚ algae‚ and certain bacteria. These organisms are veritable sugar factories‚ producing millions of

HW Review for Photosynthesis exam: Due Monday March 28 Reminder your lab write up will be a next week. If your lab is this Friday you also will get a week to complete your full lab write-up. Sample questions: 1. twenty-five plants were placed in each of four closed containers and then exposed to light conditions shown in the data table below. All other environmental conditions were held constant for a period of 2 days. At the beginning of the investigation‚ the quantity of CO2 present in each closed
