An Overview of Photosynthesis and Chloroplast Structure

The light reactions also generate ATP by using chemiosmosis through a process called photosphorylation. The light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of two compounds, which are NADPH and ATP. The Calvin cycle occurs with the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic molecules in carbon fixation. In this process, the fixed carbon is reduced with electrons provided by NADPH. The Calvin cycle takes place during daylight hours, in which the NADPH and ATP can be provided. The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma, while the light reactions occur in the thylakoids.

Plants are found everywhere on earth, up high on the ridge and down low in caves and caverns. The types of plants that live in these places depends on many factors. These factors are separated into two different categories, the biotic factors and the abiotic factors. Some of the biotic factors include, predation, competition, and habitat destruction. Plants with limited competition and large amounts of resources will be in a higher abundance than plants with limited resources and higher competition rates will be confined to areas and either out competed or will be the dominant species. Certain plants adapt to these factors and thrive and others don’t do as well. Some of the abiotic factors include, sunlight, water, temperature, and wind. These

All plants photosynthesize to produce glucose, which is stored chemical energy as the plants food can be converted into energy through respiration for life processes. The rate of photosynthesis has three main limiting factors – carbon dioxide concentration, light intensity

Trees and plants go through photosynthesis and give off oxygen. People breathe oxygen to stay alive. Without trees and plants humans wouldn’t have any oxygen to breathe. If people buy fake trees instead of real ones we would have much more oxygen than what we already have.

If plants didn’t have chloroplast, life as we know it would not be here. We would all die because we could not get energy from the sun. We get our energy from the sun by either from eating plants or eating animals that eat the plants that get there energy from the sun. The chloroplasts are responsible for harvesting and turning sunlight into energy. Another reason we would all be dead is because plants give us oxygen and if we did not have oxygen we could all get carbon dioxide poisoning.

This report discusses how varying the mole ratio of the reactants affects the amount of the product that is produced and the amount of the reactants that remain at the end of the chemical reaction. We know that you can’t simply add another atom of nitrogen and take an atom of hydrogen away from ammonia because it would change to another substance. We also know that in a chemical reaction atoms cannot be created or destroyed but can make a new substance. A guiding question was made so they can figure out how to solve/find out what is going on. The atomic theory is connected to this lab because that the atoms in the lab cannot be created of destroyed during a chemical reaction. Meaning that each side the of the equation must include the same number of each type of atom. The relationship between the amounts of any two compounds, in moles, that are involved in a chemical reaction. In this lab we are showing how different ratios of moles of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid and how the different moles leave and percentage out of the product but still remains in the lab. How this lab works we will combine sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid and we are see the amount of CO2 leftover after the reaction happens. Knowing this.

It’s an animal and plant world! Animals and plants have to rely on each other to survive where they live. Without plants, animals wouldn't have food and animals would probably die out, also without animals like bees wouldn’t be able to pollinate the flowers.

     Plants are autotrophs that mean they are able to synthesize food directly from inorganic compounds, instead of relying on other organisms. They use carbon dioxide gas and water to produce sugars and oxygen

Humans depend on plants in numerous ways. One reason we depend on plants is for consumption. Plants have the unique ability of producing their own food through a process called photosynthesis. In this process, plants are able to produce macromolecules such as carbohydrates that cannot be produced in animals or humans. In humans, the only to gain these macromolecules is to consume plant matter, or consume plant-eating animals (herbivores).
