Robinson BIO 204 Plant Physiology Monday‚ January 26‚ 2015 Brandy McFadden Process of Photosynthesis We all learned in elementary school that the suns provide nutrients and components that help plans grow. “As the name implies‚ photosynthesis is a process that uses light energy to synthesize something.” (Mauseth‚ 2014) That process is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process where plants use light energy from the sun. If we

increased‚ the average rate of photosynthesis of the leaf discs increased in a linear trend. As it is the sodium bicarbonate which decomposes into carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis‚ it is reasonable to consider from Graph 1 that as carbon dioxide concentration of the solution increases‚ the rate of photosynthesis will also increase in a linear trend. Carbon dioxide concentration is shown to be directly proportional to rate of photosynthesis ([CO2] ∝ rate of photosynthesis). The line of best fit

There are many differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis requires energy as photons. Cellular respiration supplies energy in the form of ATP. In photosynthesis‚ electron transport occurs in the membranes of chloroplasts or thylakoid discs. Cellular respiration takes place in the membranes of mitochondria. In photosynthesis‚ water breaks down to supply 2 electrons and 2 Hydrogen ions and release ½ O at the beginning of the chain. In cellular respiration‚ 2 electrons

that help it carry out basic functions that are necessary to maintain life and proper photosynthesis. The first and outermost layer of tissue is called the dermal layer. This is the plant’s ‘skin’ and serves the plant mainly as a source of protection. Also present in the dermal layer of the leaves are stomata‚ which are tiny openings that allow carbon dioxide to enter and complete the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis. The innermost layer of the plant is called the vascular tissue and is composed of phloem
