What is photosynthesis? How does it differ from respiration? Discuss how respiration and photosynthesis can occur in prokaryotic cells. How does photosynthesis work? a. How does photosynthesis convert light energy into chemical energy? b. How are the chemical products of the light-trapping...
Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere and absorbs carbon dioxide. Respiration requires oxygen to allow cells to make ATP. Considerations Respiration can also occur in yeast or bacteria in the absence of oxygen, and this process is called fermentation. Fermentation is the process that produ...
Photo means light. The response of plant towards the enviromental triggers, light which change the directions of the plant parts grow in is called phototropism. The directional, or tropic, movements can be either towards the light, or away from it. So, i
Prune so that leave do not shade other leaves. (Sunshine must hit leaves for photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is necessary for the production of plant sugars which are required for plant and fruit growth.) Avoid pruning away leaves above fruit clusters; these leaves protect fruit and stems...
To understand how photosynthesis and respiration are related to each other, we can break down the processes step by step:Step 1: Define Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteri

Plants can synthesize their food using light as the energy source, water as the electron donor, and carbon dioxide as the carbon source. This phenomenon is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis involves the production of ATP, NADPH, and sugar molecules in the light reaction and Calvin cycle...
The amount of light, the driving force of photosynthesis, that each leaf receives varies remarkably and the overall rate of photosynthesis changes significantly throughout the day. The rate at which photochemical reactions occur depends primarily on the intensity of the incident light, therefore, the...
Young carrots develop terpenoids first; these are volatile compounds, meaning they are aromatic. Terpenoids can smell like pine, wood, citrus, and turpentine. A carrot harvested too early can taste bitter and soapy. As carrots grow, natural sugars develop through photosynthesis and are stored in ...
In photosynthesis, desert plant’s green leaves use water and carbon dioxide and fuel of sunlight as raw materials to manufacture food (carbohydrates) and oxygen. The leaf of a tree or a shrub is a miniature factory where food is made using fuel and raw
