Since photosynthesis is a chemical reaction, its levels are monitored by the rate of occurrence. Changes in the levels of its inputs and outputs are used to calculate the photosynthetic rate. Thus, there are va
In photosynthetic organisms, light energy is absorbed by a complex network of chromophores embedded in light-harvesting antenna complexes. In photosystem II (PSII), the excitation energy from the antenna is transferred very efficiently to an active reaction center (RC) (i.e., with oxidized primary...
If you believe it or not, or however fantastic it looks like, plants can be anaesthetized. If you see with your own eyes how anaesthetized carnivorous Venus flytrap plant (Dionaea muscipula) is unable to react to the presence of insect prey moving with impunity across the surface of the trap...
Light intensity plays a pivotal role in the growth and development of trees. High light intensity typically stimulates tree growth by increasing the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain threshold. It encourages branching, leaf development, and influences the tree’s shape and size. What is light...
3. Narrow your research to determine specific research questions You can focus on a more specific area of study once you have a good handle on the topic you want to explore. Focusing on recent literature or knowledge gaps is one good option. ...
Once you get a feel for when it's time for another drink, only then can you determine a new schedule. As the rate of photosynthesis (and therefore water-intake through the roots) is significantly governed by the amount of light that's received, providing a bright, indirect setting will ...
During photosynthesis, plants use the energy of the sun to drive a reaction that converts carbon dioxide and water to sugar and oxygen. The sugar produced is then converted to energy in the form of ATP, through the same processes used by our bodies to process carbohydrates. However, in addi...
The aim of this study was to: 1) evaluate germination success under different water soil conditions, 2) analyze seedling survival and transpiration rate under prolonged water shortage and 3) measure gas exchange to determine the photosynthetic metabolism (CAM vs. C3) at seedling stage on three ...
4 We calculated the personal income for this group of people to determine the associated value. Third, forests offer recreational benefits, which we quantified by considering the travel costs people are willing to pay for access to forests. Forests certainly have significant intangible social value ...
However, it would be important to determine the equilibrium RH of the new salt ion system remaining in the masonry. The MC and HMC (moisture content and hygroscopic moisture content) determination before and after treatment are very effective in the field of historical masonry investigations, as ...
