Photosynthesis vs. Solar Cells When the subject of solar energy is discussed both the ideas and processes of photosynthesis and solar cells are the basis of these conversations. While both are processing or converting light into energy‚ which will be explained further‚ it is the type of energy that is vastly different. Photosynthesis as a process used by certain plants to convert the suns energy into food. When the electromagnetic energy from the sun reaches a green plant the chlorophyll

Photosynthesis 1. Would you illuminate your house plants with a green light bulb? Why or why not? It would not be a wise choice to put a plant under a green light bulb. The reason for this is that due to the fact that the leaves are green they reflect green light. This shining green light onto the flowers will cause photosynthesis to stop. Since the light is being reflectd‚ the cells do not get any light. With out light they cannot carry out the everyday occurrence of photosyntesis. If the

respiration and photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is performed by plant organisms and some bacteria‚ and cellular respiration is performed by all living organisms. These two processes are reliant on each other. Photosynthesis creates oxygen‚ which is used in cellular respiration. Cellular respiration in turn creates carbon dioxide‚ which is an important “ingredient” in the process of photosynthesis. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these processes so important to all living things. Photosynthesis is the

Investigation of the rate of photosynthesis of pondweed. Research question: How does the concentration of sodium bicarbonate relate to the amount of oxygen produced by Elodea (Canadian pond weed) in the process of photosynthesis? Hypothesis: If there is an increase in concentration of sodium bicarbonate the amount of oxygen produced will increase because the sodium bicarbonate concentration will increase the carbon dioxide levels. Independent variable- Concentrations of sodium bicarbonate (8%

Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy transportation in organisms. However‚ the reactants and the products are exact opposites in photosynthesis and in cellular respiration. In photosynthesis‚ cells take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) by absorbing energy from the sun‚ and then the cells release oxygen (O2) and store glucose (C6H12O6). The formula of photosynthesis is: Light energy 6CO2+6H2O → C6H12O6+6O2

chemical bonds of ATP and carbohydrates‚ a process called photosynthesis (Knox et al.‚ 2005). However‚ this report is only concerned with photosynthetic pigments and what wavelength of light they absorb‚ rather than the process of photosynthesis itself. Chlorophyll is a green‚ light absorbing pigment found in plants which allow them to utilise the energy in light to survive. This is because chlorophyll is the main pigment associated with photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a is the main type of light absorbing
