H 2 O Vitamins And Minerals
1,751 wordsWhat exactly do we mean by sugar? Most people would answer by describing the white granulated sugar found on the meal table. That is however only part of the answer. Table sugar is sucrose and is only one of a number of different sugars all of which belong to the carbohydrate group of basic energy foods. Sugars are a major form of carbohydrate and are found in probably all green plants. They occur in significant amounts in most fruits and vegetables. There are three main simple sugars - sucrose,...

Carbon Dioxide And Water Organic Compounds
791 wordsHave you ever wondered why your plants in your house and outside lean towards the sun. In my project I hope to answer why this happens. I am going to be using lima beans to do this with. The Greek philosopher Aristotle may have been the first to attempt to explain the processes of photosynthesis and food production. He believed that plants could obtain from the soil all the components required for growth. The cycle was completed when organisms perished and became reincorporated into the soil. Th...

Endoplasmic Reticulum Organic Molecules
1,136 words... m is used to breakdown glycogen to glucose. The endoplasmic reticulum is versatile and grows and shrinks according to the cell's activities. Chloroplasts which are found in plant cells are used in the process of photosynthesis. They fall into the category of plastids but they are differentiated in that they contain chlorophyll. These organelles produce chemical reactions from the energy that the sun gives them. The Golgi complex's structure is made up of many flattened membranes sacs that ar...

Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Ions
1,424 wordsPhotosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules. Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains and food webs on the Earth. The net process of photosynthesis is described by the following equation: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + Light Energy = C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 This equation simply means that carbon dioxide from the air and water combine in the presence of sunli...

Animals That Eat Eat Animals That Eat Plants Photosynthesis
388 wordsWhen you and me eat, we find our food. When plants eat, they make their own food and energy. They make their food and energy through a process called photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis oxygen is also produced. Photosynthesis is "a process in which green plants synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water... The reverse of this reaction provides energy for plants, for animals that eat plants, for animals that eat animals that eat plants" for animals that eat animals that eat animals...

H 2 O Carbon Dioxide
854 wordsColours Chloroplasts contain several different pigments the majority of which are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Both of these types of chlorophyll absorb similar wavelengths of light, but chlorophyll a absorbs a slightly higher wavelength than chlorophyll b. Neither chlorophyll absorbs much light in the green region of the spectrum thus making it appear green. This can be plotted onto a graph (fig 1. 1). This graph is called the Absorption Spectrum. The Absorption Spectrum is very similar in ...

Amount Of Light Chemical Energy
408 wordsPhotosynthesis is the process by which plant cells, algae, and some bacteria, capture light energy and change it to chemical energy. Almost all of the world? s energy is provided through photosynthesis. The equation for photosynthesis is CO 2 + 2 H 2 A + light energy> (CA. Photosynthesis is in two stages: a series of reactions that need light and certain temperatures and a series of reactions that don? t need light but need certain temperatures. The rate of the light reaction, can be sped up by ...

Carbon Dioxide And Water Green Plants
540 wordsPhotosynthesis is the Photosynthesis PHOTOSYNTHESIS Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose. In so doing, photosynthesis provides the basic energy source for almost all organisms. Oxygen is extremely important to photosynthesis, which most organisms depend on. Photosynthesis occurs in green plants, seaweeds, algae, and certain bacteria. Chlorophyll is capable of conve...

H 2 O Carbon Dioxide
546 wordsPhotosynthesis Photosynthesis means putting together with light. This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats and proteins. These are tiny pores called stomata. Stomata are plant spores, which enable gas exchanges to take, place, and water to vapor to be lost. This has the benefit of moving water up the plane in ...
