can anyone give me some facts about photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose for energy. It takes place in the cholorplasts of the cell, which contain chlorophyll. There are two parts to photosynthesis, the light reactions, and the dark reactions, or the Calvin cycle. In the light reactions, light energy triggers electrons to form ATP and NADPH from ADP and NADP through the electron transport chain. This part also takes water and releases oxygen.\n\nIn the calvin cycle, RuBP uses carbon dioxide to create glucose, which is the energy the plant needs to function. \n\nThe products released from photosynthesis are water and oxygen.

2 stages of photosynthesis work together to produce\nglucose by..... first capturing the sun's energy then in the chloroplasts, water and carbon dioxide undergo chemical reactions which produce sugar including glucose..........

1. The stoma\n2. rate of photosynthesis doesn't depend on only CO2. Other factors such as sunlight and water must be taken into consideration

PHOTOSYNTHESIS: HOW LIFE KEEPS GOING...and going...and going...\nTake a little sunshine. Take some carbon dioxide molecules out of the air. \nTake some hydrogen atoms out of water. \nShuffle them around inside a bunch of little green chloroplasts inside green plant cells. What do you get? \nThat's right.  It's GLUCOSE and OXYGEN!   A couple of very important molecules. \n\nThat's what you asked, rite?? hee hee hee...;)

I'm always happy to help out a Van Halen fan! Anyway, photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy and fuel to grow, and also to manufacture proteins, the most important of which is chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. They also convert this light into sugars anfd starches, which they need to grow. (The storing of these sugars, in fact, along with the slowing down of the photsynth, is what gives those autumn leaves their great colors.)  During the dark hours the plants are basically dormant, and thus no photosynth taking place, but they are still respirating, i.e. taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They do this in light too, of couse, but at a faster rate. But just like we need our sleep, the plants need the dark also to rest and store their food, otherwise they would expend it all and thus dry out, which is why they get yellow (depleted chlorophyl) with too much sun.

Simple one will be \nSunlight + Carbon dioxide (CO2) + Water (H2O)--> Glucose (C6H12O6) + Oxygen (O2).\nor \n6CO2 +12 H2O (light energy and chlorophyll) ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2\nRemember to use subscript whenever necessary.

Photosynthesis:\n\nCO2 + chlorophyl + sun light + water + minerals + energy -> O2 + food + water\n\n6 CO2 + 12 H2O + ATP + NADPH -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O \n\ncarbon dioxide + water + energy -> carbohydrate (glucose) + oxygen + water\n\nGreen plants and livings have chlorophyl make photosynthesis between sun rise and sun set.\n\nRespiration:\n\nC6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP\n\ncarbohydrate (glucose) + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy\n\nAll livings have respiratory system.

cyanobacteria, aka blue green algae, contain chlorophyll and carry on photosynthesis like green plants.\nThe second reference (tolweb.org)lists lots of them if you need specific examples

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of a plant cell (also occurs in some prokaryotic algae) It happens in both the Thylakoids and in the Stroma.

If you want me to use those specific terms it sounds like you're going to just copy what I write for your assignment.  I'd be happy to explain the process to you, by I'm not going to write your homework paper.\n\nThe idea is that plants produce food using energy from the sun, and all other life either directly eats plants or eats things that eat plants.  So all life (except some protists, that, like plants, can make their own food) lives on energy that the plants have harvested from the sun.\n\nI hope you already know what the laws of thermodynamics, photosynthesis, and respiration are.  If not, pay more attention in class or look them up on Wikipedia.  You should be able to figure out how to phrase the explaination in a way that uses those terms on your own.

Using elodea (pond plant) in water (gives the elodea the water it needs for photosynthesis) with a small amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate added (gives the elodea the carbon dioxide it needs for photosynthesis) in a test tube, put it at different distances from a source of light. Then for a minute at each distance, count the amount of bubbles of oxygen being produced by the elodea in the test tube. This shows how the rate of photosynthesis is affected by the light intensity. Remember to use a perspex screen between the light source and test tube so that no warmth is passed from the light source to the elodea, affecting the results.\nI hope this makes some sense!!!\nBest wishes.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well!

For photosynthesise CO2 and sunlight required.When we breath,we discharge CO2.This CO2 can help plants for photosynthesise.Any way we producing more than million times of CO2 what plants required other than our breathing.Plants tired of this process.If you want relay help plants,reduce wastage and pollution.

Photosynthesis is an important biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert the energy of sunlight to chemical energy. The chemical energy is used to drive synthetic reactions such as the formaton of sugars or the fixation of nitrogen into amino acids, the building blocks for protein synthesis. Ultimately, nearly all living things depend on energy produced from photosynthesis for their nourishment, making it vital to life on Earth. It is also responsible for producing the oxygen that makes up a large portion of the Earth's atmosphere. Organisms that produce energy through photosynthesis are called photoautotrophs. Plants are the most visible representatives of photoautotrophs, but it should be emphasized that bacteria and algae also contribute to the conversion of free energy into usable energy.

chloroplasts are a part of plants that contain chlorophyll, which is what makes the plant green.  the chlorophyll traps light energy, and with that converts CO2 into sugar and oxygen\n\nthe exact formula is actually\n\nn CO2 + 2n H2O + ATP + NADPH → (CH2O)n + n O2 + n H2O\nor\n6 CO2 + 12 H2O + ATP + NADPH → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O\n\nbut you probably only need to know that chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which help plants turn CO2(carbon dioxide), with the help of light energy, into sugars which it feeds on and O2(oxygen), which it releases.

Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae (Kingdom Protista). Plants need only light energy, CO2, and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, specifically using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. \n\nPhotosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well!\n\nWe can write the overall reaction of this process as: \n\n6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2\nMost of us don't speak chemicalese, so the above chemical equation translates as:\n\nsix molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen\n\n\nDiagram of a typical plant, showing the inputs and outputs of the photosynthetic process.

A leaf may be viewed as a solar collector crammed full of photosynthetic cells.\n\nThe raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf.\n\n\nCross section of a leaf, showing the anatomical features important to the study of photosynthesis: stoma, guard cell, mesophyll cells, and vein. Image from Purves et al., Life: The Science of Biology, 4th Edition, by Sinauer Associates (www.sinauer.com) and WH Freeman (www.whfreeman.com), used with permission.\n\nWater enters the root and is transported up to the leaves through specialized plant cells known as xylem (pronounces zigh-lem). Land plants must guard against drying out (desiccation) and so have evolved specialized structures known as stomata to allow gas to enter and leave the leaf. Carbon dioxide cannot pass through the protective waxy layer covering the leaf (cuticle), but it can enter the leaf through an opening (the stoma; plural = stomata; Greek for hole) flanked by two guard cells. Likewise, oxygen produced during photosynthesis can only pass out of the leaf through the opened stomata. Unfortunately for the plant, while these gases are moving between the inside and outside of the leaf, a great deal water is also lost. Cottonwood trees, for example, will lose 100 gallons of water per hour during hot desert days. Carbon dioxide enters single-celled and aquatic autotrophs through no specialized structures.\nVirtually all oxygen in the atmosphere is thought to have been generated through the process of photosynthesis. Obviously, all respiring organisms (including plants) utilize this oxygen and produce CO2. Thus, photosynthesis and respiration are interlinked, with each process depending on the products of the other. The global amount of photosynthesis is on the order of a trillion kg of dry organic matter produced per day, and respiratory processes convert about the same amount of organic matter to CO2. A large part (probably the majority) of photosynthetic productivity occurs in open oceans, mostly by oxygenic prokaryotes. Without photosynthesis, the oxygen in the atmosphere would be depleted within several thousand years. It should be emphasized that plants respire just like any other higher organism, and that during the day this respiration is masked by a higher rate of photosynthesis.

photophosphorylation, the light reactions, where the sunlight is exciting all the electrons. it's literally the electron transport chain plus some other stuff. electrons travel down a chain of proteins, releasing energy and creating ATP from ADP. however, in photosynthesis the electrons can go through it multiple times b/c they may be renergized by sunlight at the end. the electrons which aren't reenergized go on to the Calvin-Benson cycle. in respiration, at the end of the ETC electrons are used to form water.
