Step 1photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plant convert the light energy from the sun to the chemical energy through the process of respiration
The reaction of photosynthesis --
carbon dioxide + water +energy from light------------------>>>>> glucose + oxygen
6CO₂+6H₂O→→→ C6H12O6 + 602
Factor affecting photosynthesis --
- Temperature
- Light intensity
- CO2 concentration

- What would be the effect on production of NADPH from photosynthesis, assuming no effect on enzyme/protein stability, if the pH of the chloroplast stroma were lowered? Why?arrow_forward77arrow_forwardIdentify how the function of C4 biochemistry results in an increase in WUE (water use efficiency, unit C gain per unit H20 loss) and NUE (nitrogen use efficiency, unit C gain per unit leaf N) relative to a C3 plantarrow_forward
- Light that the chlorophyll-a pigment uses may be measured by the solar-induced fluorescence (650-850nm). This fluorescence caused by the sun and a plant's gross primary output are correlated linearly. Why can solar induced fluorescence be used to infer net photosynthesis?arrow_forwardCalculate the gross rate of photosynthesis (mm/hr) for Elodea if when measuring net photosynthesis, the water level moved up 7mm from the initial level in 10 min, and when measuring cellular respiration it took 15 minutes for the water level to move down 1 mm. 48 mm/hr 42 mm/hr 46 mm/hr 38 mm/hr 50 mm/hr 30 mm/hrarrow_forwardWhere in the chloroplast would you expect to find newly formed NADPHarrow_forward
