Plants can make their own food through photosynthesis and then break it down for usable energy through the process of cellular respiration. Analyze and explain how your life might be different if you could make your own food through photosynthesis. First of all if we were to be able to make our own food trough photosynthesis‚ we should have chlorophyll‚ which is the important pigment in absorbing sunlight. As an effect we will all be green in color. This may be good as there will be only one race

plant. Plants and trees cover about thirty percent of the planet’s surface‚ as stated in NASA’s Earth Observatory division. They use a process called photosynthesis‚ which allows plants to take energy from the Sun and later using it as food‚ as well as producing oxygen through the process of respiration. So how does it happen? The process of photosynthesis occurs as follows. First‚ the plant uses the sunlight and the green color in their leaves to make sugar from carbon dioxide‚ or CO2‚ which is in the

The effect of different coloured lights on the rate of Photosynthesis Objective: To find out which colour of light provides the best consequences for the production of oxygen/ the rate of photosynthesis Background: In photosynthesis‚ there are two main parts‚ including light dependent and light-independent reactions. Plants use the energy from light for producing sugar‚ which is being converted into ATP by cellular respiration. They also are the only organisms that produce oxygen along with glucose

Is photosynthesis important for life? Is photosynthesis important for green plant‚ animal‚ Earth and human? I believe that photosynthesis is major on make fresh air and make the plants own food. I believe that photosynthesis is important for life because the fresh air from the chlorophyll is doing photosynthesis. Plants also make food and oxygen. Then plants is doing photosynthesis‚ it must have sunlight to make their own food and oxygen. The equation about photosynthesis basically is CO2 +

Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo website: www.explorelearning.com Class code: EFVNHTVRGY Gizmo Warm-up During photosynthesis‚ plants use the energy of light to produce glucose (C6H12O6) from carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and water (H2O). Glucose is a simple sugar that plants use for energy and as a building block for larger molecules. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Plants use some of the oxygen they produce‚ but most of it is released. In the Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo™‚ you

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

A Spectrophotometric Analysis of the Absorption of Green Light Versus Red Light Absorption in Spinach Leaves The goal of the experiment was to determine if green light had less ability to absorb than red light in spinach leaves. This was done by separating the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ carotene and xanthophylls) from one another using paper chromatography. The separated pigments were then analyzed for their absorption spectrum using a spectrographometer. When the

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

Cyanobacteria live in water‚ can manufacture their own food‚ and are one of the most important groups of bacteria on Earth. The Cyanobacteria have been important

Cells of all organisms are capable in acquiring the energy necessary to fuel chemical reactions for growth‚ repair‚ survival‚ and reproduction. Photosynthesis & cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy flow in living things. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants and some other organisms convert‚ light energy from the sun‚ CO2 from the air & H2O from the earth‚ into chemical energy stored in molecules like glucose. Cellular respiration is a process in which O2 is delivered to cells
