Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The process that converts carbon dioxide into water and sugar by using sunlight is termed as photosynthesis. It changes solar energy to chemical energy needed by all living beings. Solar energy is utilized by plants and other photosynthetic organisms for rearranging the CO2 and water from the environment into carbohydrates and releasing oxygen as an end product.

- Photosynthesis directly opposes respiration in determining how plants influence atmospheric CO2 concentrations. When a leaf is in the light, both photosynthesis and respiration are occurring simultaneously. The data in the Table were collected from the leaf of a sagebrush plant that was enclosed in a chamber that measures the rate of CO2 exchange. The same leaf was used to collect the data in Interpret the Data in Chapter 7. Respiration is shown as a negative and photosynthesis as a positive rate of CO2 exchange. The net photosynthesis rate is the amount of CO2 (in micromoles per square meter per second) assimilated by the leaf while respiration is occurring; a positive value indicates more photosynthesis is occurring than respiration. The light exposed to the leaf is quantified as the number of photons in the 400 to 700 nm wavelength, the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD); 2,000 mol/m2/s is equivalent to the amount of light occurring at midday in full Sun.

- Which of the following is FALSE about photosynthesis? Group of answer choices: -Organisms that can utilize light energy as a food source are called autotrophs. -Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts. -The light phase of photosynthesis produces ATP and NADH. -Carbohydrates, with the aid of energy and reducing power produced from the light phase, are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water.arrow_forwardPhotosynthesis is a complex process. Two main stages of photosynthesis are: H20 co 1 Light dependent reactions This step converts light energy to chemical energy. Light NADP 2 Calvin Cycle Also known as the light independent reaction.

Inside of the chloroplast, chlorophyll molecules absorb light and convert light energy to chemical energy. In what stage of photosynthesis is chlorophyll needed? Why? Chloroplast (CH20] (sugar) 6 CO2 + 12 H20 + light energy → CeH12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H20 carbon dioxide + water + light energy > glucose + oxygen + water 3.
