Cellular Respiration vs. Photosynthesis To obtain energy needed for life‚ organisms depend on the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Though they share the same function of changing energy from one form to another‚ there are many differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis in regard to the input and output molecules‚ energetics‚ cellular location‚ and ecological importance. The chemical equations of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are opposites. The reactants

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

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

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 (How do the light dependent and light independent reactions provide food for a plant?) Why? How important are plants to life on Earth? Could life as we know it continue if there were no plants? Read on the find out why plants are truly the cornerstone of life.

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

Photosynthesis notes -sunlight brings energy to Earth -the energy in sunlight is packaged in photons -the photosystems in the thylakoid membrane capture photons -pigments in the photosystems have an antenna complex that actually grabs the photons -chlorophyll b captures the photons and transfers the energy to chlorophyll a (the reaction center) -when the reaction center receives the energy it donates an electron -the donated electron will move down the electron transport system (ETS) -ETS

Biology lab: measuring the effect of light intensity on plant growth Aim: Investigate the effect of light intensity on plant growth Hypothesis: Light intensity will have an effect on plant growth. With an increase in light intensity there will be plant growth at a faster rate in comparison to when the light intensity is low where plant growth is limited and will take place slowly. When there’s too much light intensity‚ the light intensity will no longer become a limiting factor. A limiting
