Questions about Photosyntesis.?

When the leaf is alive, it will take the light by absorbing it with the clorophile. This is esential to continue with the process, for that is the moment when the plant takes its energy for the creation of new compounds.\nBy removing it, you're preventing it from using any more energy from the outside to create organic compounds, thus leaving the leaf useless to do photosyntesis.\nWhen you boil the leaf, you're raising the temperature of it. By doing so, you're breaking up the structure of the clorophile, and destroying it.

plants require visible spectrum for photosynthesis. the light you can see is the light they can use. green is least effective. red and blue are most.

Plant cells contain chlorophyll. There are a few types of chlorophyll. Some are high energy and others lower energy.  Every species of plant has different ratios of these various chlorophyll molecules.\n\nAs light energy hits a plant leaf, you get conversion of energy. If more light hits the plant, then more energy up to a point. You will reach a couple of roadblocks. The first is the theoretical maximum the chlorophyll can produce. You have saturated it and it can do no more. I say theoretical as this level will often burn the plant before it is reached. The other roadblock is that as you increase the energy you may move or shif out of the optimal range for that species. So they may have lot of chlorophyll A and little Chlorphyll C and if you shifted to the energy wavelength of C total energy production would decrease even though you increased available source energy.\n\nSince this sounds like a school project, I will only point you in the proper directon.  Look up different types of chlorophyll. Look up the types found in tomato plants. Both are easily searched on Yahoo or Google. Then look up evergy levels of saturation on those types and then look up ebergy levels of light intensity. You could then make a simple chart showing at what level the prduction will shift and then decrease.

Dude plants and algea, planton converting carbon dioxide to oxogen in photosythesis. Plus those weird bacteria in the ocean that can do it without light in darkness.

Although water is required for photosynthesis the amount of water actually required is tiny, almost immeasurable even in large tree. In contrast a large tree will use hundreds of gallons of water every single day. More importantly a plant that is in the dark will die without water just as fast as a plant in full sunlight. Since photosynthesis can't occur in the dark we know that it can't be photosynthesis that  most of the water is required for.\n\nPlants need water for three main reasons, the first two are  exactly the same reasons that you need water. \n\n1) Water serves as the solvent for every chemcial reaction that makes up life. Without water life simply isn't possible because no chemical reactions assocaited with life can occur.\n\n2) Water is also essential for transporting nutrients around the plant, so minerals are taken from the soil to the leaves dissolved in water, and sugars are taken from the leaves to the roots dissolved in water.\n\n3) Plants use water to maintain their very shape. The cells themselves are held in shape by the pressure of the water inside them, like water-filled balloons. Without water the cells shrink and collapse, and we see this as the plant wilting. If the collapse goes to far t5he cells tear and that part of the plant dies.

ok i have 2 possible answers. one is evaporation (the part of the water cycle in which water is put back in the sky and turns into clouds. that is my #1 answer but it could be possible that it is photosythesis because of what the plants do during that process but if u still have trouble go to where i go. www.google.com

Simply put:\n\n6CO2 + 6H2O -{photosyhnthesis}-> C6H12O6 (glucose) -{Respiration-> 6CO2 + 6H2O\n\nPhotosynthesis takes energy from sunlight; respiration gives energy to the organism.

ok so packets of sunlight are called PHOTONS and those PHOTONS are absorbed in PHOTOSYSTEM 2 (PS2) which are proteins on the membrane of cytoplasm cells on plants (or any photosynthetic organisim)\n\nfollow so far? ok here is where it complicated...\n\nok so little electrons are floating around in PS2 and when the light comes in it energizes them and they zoom across into PS 1. and are now PHOTON ELECTRONS.\n\nmeanwhile....\n\nwater (h2o) is also being absorbed and the electrons are splitting them apart so it is just an h and an o. so the o goes away somewhere and the h floats into the PROTEIN SYNTHASE which is also a protein in the membrane of cytoplasm. it is shaped like a tube. when hydrogen goes in, it spins and produces ATP. \n\nBUT...\n\nremember the PHOTON ELECTRONS?? they left PS1 and now float arond inside the cytplasm. a PHOTON ELECTRON , NADP+ molecule and ATP combine to form NADPH AND ATP.\n\n\nTHE END!!

well photosynthesis is a good way to start. the water from the roots are pulled by cohesion and then it leaves from the stroma in the plant leaves.

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!

just fyi i would have made this a biology question but anyway, chlorophyll a and b would be present in both leaves its not one or the other.  this sounds like homework don't you think that you should be figuring this out on your own.  i'll give you a couple hints.  you need a solute so that you can separate the pigments.  the pigments  will travel farther if the are less soluble.  Anyway thats all i'm giving you good luck.

Just going with what Jag said, there doesn't seem to be any correct answer.\n\nAnimalia are never photosynthetic.\n\nEubacteria are never eukaryotes.\n\nFungi are never photosynthetic.\n\nPlantae are never single celled.\n\nNone of the answer is correct. In point of fact most single-celled eukaryotes that are either heterotrophic or photosynthetic belong to the kingdom Protista. But Protista isn't one of the options given.\n\nI think your teacher stuffed up the question.

YOU can co relate krants anatomy(presence of chloroplasts in bundle sheath cells) and high yield of starches in rice plant It needs some research on Internet .But otherwise it is a good topic for any seminars

Hooooo.OK U want all explanation in yahoo answers?I Will try\n\nIN photosynthesis the sunlight energy is used by green plants to prepare food materials.\nn light reaction the sun light activates chlorophyll molecules so that they make NADDP2 and NADH2.These two in Calvin cycle reduce the co2+h2o in to glucose molecule\n\nIN respiration the reverse happens Of course in different steps\nGlucose molecule in respiration (it is a 6 carbon molecule6H12O6) passes through 3 phases to release the energy in the form of ATP(remember solar energy is taken in p.s to make glucose molecule)\n\nIn GLYCOLYSIS of respiration g;ucose divides in to two pyruvic acids which is aC3co,mpound (2X3=6CARBON glucose)\n\nIn KREBSCYCLE THE pyruvic acik(c3)com pound splits in to 3 co2 and while doing so , it producesNADPH2 nd NADH2\n\nINthe last phase the ELECTRON TRANSPORT  the reduced powers or NADH2 AND NADPH2  are oxidised  (at this stage it takes in oxygen_) in to energy(ATP)and co2\nso the end product in respiration is carbondioxide and energ y in the form of ATP

Actually U cannot test da water need in photosynthesis. Because da two rules in all experiments to test da agents of photosynthesis r, That da plant should be destarched\nand Da experiment should be controlled. But in the case of water u cannot control water..

photosynthetic humanoids with green chlorophyll-containing hair?  Easy.   Or at least my husband thinks so.   He has done drawings of character's like this for his RPG campaigns.  \n\nA photosynthetic humanoid would likely have a skin cell structure similar to that of plants. The hair could be anything from branches to vines to grass.  Use your imagination.  \n\nIf you know how to draw, take some time and think about it scientifically; then start  sketching.  If you don't, find a friend who does.  If you're really desperate, ask my husband.  See his work at www.seansgallery.com.\n\nBest of luck on your project.
