Photosynthesis: the basis of life 1. Basics of Photosynthesis: a. Review the anatomy of the leaf and the cellular locations and organells involved in photosynthesis. Answer: A leaf consists of waxy cuticle layer with stoma surrounded by guard cells, xylem vascular bundle, and a mesophyll. The chloroplast is located within the mesophyll cells. The stroma and thylakoids are located inside the chloroplast. The thylakoids contain chlorophyll. The organells that participate in photosynthesis are

1. A. Soil Formation Weathering break up the surface of parent rocks into small particles. Air and water enter the spaces between the particles and chemical changes take pace which resut in the production of chemical substances. Bacteria and plant life soon appear. When plant and animal organisms die, they decay and produce a substance called humus. This is very important to so fertility. Bacteria play a vital role into the decomposition of plants and animals remains. The end product of these

PHOTOSYNTHESIS • • • • • It is the physico-chemical process on which the every existence of life on this planet depends. It is an endergonic reaction and anabolic process. It is synthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O by utilising the light energy in which O2 is the bye product. The overall reaction of photosynthesis can be represented by the equation: Light and 6CO2 + 12H2O Chlorophyll → C6 H12 O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 • From carbohydrates, the other organic substances of the plant

the plants) and other solid substrate. * Consumers- tiny crustaceans, flatworms, insect larvae, snails, frogs, fish and turtles. Energy flow through an Ecosytem The ecosystem uses energy from the sun when the plants use a process called photosynthesis. This process is when the plant uses the sunlight to make sugar molecules. Also during this process the plants gain solar energy. The solar energy trap will produce chemical reactions that will require water and carbon dioxide. The carbohydrates

The Power of Photosynthesis In this article, they performed experiments on watermellons by storing them in storages to see how light, both dark and light , affect the chloroplast ultrastructure. Also they were trying to to see if the storage increases or decreases photosynthesis proformance, after the seed has been planted. The results in this experiment was storing them in the light compared to dark is 100% better overall. The chloroplasts grana were very distored and the chroloplast also had

widely; they serve to anchor the tree and extract moisture and nutrients from the soil. Above ground, the branches divide into smaller branches and shoots. The shoots typically bear leaves, which capture light energy and convert it into sugars by photosynthesis, providing the food for the tree's growth and development. Flowers and fruit may also be present, but some trees, such as conifers, instead have pollen cones and seed cones; others, such as tree ferns, produce spores instead. Trees play a significant

Mark Meritt COMM 213 Judy Moorhouse 3/13/12 Green Roof A green roof is a green space located on buildings. Green roofs use evapo-transpiration and radiation to absorb heat, filter air pollutants and retain storm water. The term “green” stems from nature, or anything that has to do with it. . Architects like Le Corbusier and Frank Llyod Wright used very early forms of green roof technology on their own homes, which led more people to become familiar with green roofs worldwide. The “green” or
