The chloroplast is where photosynthesis takes place. The entire team is like the chloroplast because photosynthesis is what helps makes the plant grow and in a team you grow as a whole. Mitochondria converts energy stored in glucose into adenosine triphosphate for the cell. Powerade is like mitochondria because Powerade gives energy to the players. The cell wall protects the plant and gives the plant support. The field lines are compared to the cell wall because the lines define the boundary
Practical 2: Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis is a vital process in plants as carbon dioxide is used to form sugars and other complex compounds for growth. There are two basic processes in photosynthesis: light-dependent and light-independent. Light-dependent process, a temperature-independent reaction where light energy is absorbed by the photosynthetic pigments and transformed into chemical energy which is used for water, splitting into oxygen molecule, proton (H+) for

Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which green plants manufacture their food (organic compounds) making use of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. It is also the synthesis of carbohydrate from sunlight, water and CO2 by the green plants. It is an endergonic and anabolic process. Bacteria show an oxygenic photosynthesis as they do not use water and do not evolve oxygen. Cyanobacteria (blue green algae) evolved oxygen first time in evolution as they show oxygenic photosynthesis
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis and respiration are reactions that complement each other in the environment. In reality, they are the same reactions, but they occur in reverse. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen. Through the respiration process, glucose and oxygen yield carbon dioxide and water. They work well because living organisms supply plants with carbon dioxide, which undergoes photosynthesis and produces glucose, and these plants
ramifications and effects it has on plants and the cycle of photosynthesis. Pollution not only directly effect plants and the cycle of photosynthesis, but pollution can also indirectly harm other elements that contribute to the life of a plant and the cycles it performs. Photosynthesis is the cycle in which light energy converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen by ways of a chemical reaction (Robinson 2015). Photosynthesis’, overall a fairly simple process, has couple complex reactions
our initial hypothesis. This is due to the opening reaction of stomata when the plant is exposed to a light source and performs photosynthesis and transports sugars. When the chlorophyll absorbs light energy, the chloroplasts can perform photosynthesis, a process that requires water and carbon dioxide that produces sugar in the leaves. To supply water used in photosynthesis by the chloroplasts, the plant will need to widen its stomatal openings to increase the rate of transpiration by allowing more
Photosynthesis is the process undergone by plants consisting of a series of chemical reactions that require four factors; water, carbon dioxide, radiant energy and temperature using chlorophyll molecules to trap radiant energy from the sun resulting in the making of glucose and oxygen as bi-products. The process of photosynthesis provides plants with the food and energy they need to grow. Plants that produce their own food are called autotrophic plants. Not only do these plants make food for themselves
The purpose of this lab was to measure the rate of photosynthesis through a variety of experiments; each experiment involved a series of floating disks. These experiments included a light intensity analysis, light color analysis, CO2 source analysis, and a leaf source analysis. The results have concluded that as light intensity as well as CO2 concentrations increase, the rate of photosynthesis also increases. Furthermore, kale and spinach leaves while immersed in NaHCO3 had the highest percentage
Introduction Before starting his experiment, it is important to know some background information on the topic at hand, photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is when autotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy that is later released to fuel other organisms (Vidyasagar, 2015). Light energy is the energy from the sun. This is converted into chemical energy that is stored in the bonds of glucose through the light-dependent and light-independent reactions. The light-dependent reactions use sunlight
