Homework Answers
3. Sunlight provides the energy source required for the photolysis of water. Light is rarely a limiting factor under natural conditions except for sciophytes. Light saturation occurs at 10% of full sunlight. Excess light causes solarization (Photooxidative damage of pigments). Accessory pigments protect the reaction center in the photosystem to a certain extent.
See the graph for the effect of light on photosynthesis.
Photosynthetic activity is maximum in red and blue regions of the visible spectrum. Photosynthetic activity is minimum at green wavelengths.
4. Plants use photosynthesis to make
carbohydrate
Products of photosynthesis = Carbohydrate, oxygen, and water
5. Substrates of
photosynthesis:
i. CO2
ii. H2O
Photosynthesis involves reduction of CO2 to carbohydrates.
It utilizes light energy captured by photosynthetic pigments.
6. Substrates of
photosynthesis:
i. CO2 = Plants are photoautotrophs i.e. they obtain their carbon
from atmospheric CO2 through stomata.
ii. H2O = Water is the ultimate donor of electrons in
photosynthesis. Plants absorb water from the soil through roots
7. Site of photosynthesis in plants
= Chloroplast
Light-dependent reactions occur in thylakoid membranes.
Light independent reactions occur in stroma.

Need help with reviewing my lab report -- Question on Germinating Seeds Plants and plants have been studied for hundreds of years, dating back to the geological era of the Holocene, which began around 11,700 years ago. How to study its effects was by noting the effects of the plants on humans, i.e. herbal medicine, which is the doctrine of how to use herbs in various ways to promote health. Fast-forward to 1665 and using an early microscope to detect...
How Do Chloroplasts Capture Energy from the Sun?
How Do Chloroplasts Capture Energy from the Sun? Plant cells and some algae contain an organelle called the chloroplast. The chloroplast allows plants to harvest energy from sunlight, a process known as photosynthesis. Specialized pigments in the chloroplast absorb sunlight and use this energy combine carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen. The complete reaction is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + C6H12O6 + 6O2 Raw Materials (Reactants) CO2 = carbon dioxide H2O = water Products C6H1206 = glucose O2 = oxygen Plant cells can...

Food Microbiology Purpose To utilize the process of fermentation to make yogurt To describe organisms responsible for food borne illnesses and summarize a recent outbreak Introduction Microorganisms have been used for centuries for food preservation and to improve or change its taste. Evidence exists that yogurt, which is milk fermented by bacteria, has been around for over 4000 years. Today, many of the foods we eat are the result of microorganisms acting on foods for a specific and desired effect....
