The Process of Photosynthesis in Plants (With Diagram)

The Process of Photosynthesis in Plants! Introduction: Life on earth ultimately depends on energy derived from sun. Photosynthesis is the only process of biological importance that can harvest this energy. Literally photosynthesis means 'synthesis using light'. Photosynthetic organisms use solar energy to synthesize carbon compound that cannot be formed without the input of the energy. Photosynthesis (Photon = Light, Synthesis [...]

Useful Notes on Photosynthesis (With Equations)

The overall reactions of photosynthesis may be sumĀ­marized by the equation: Studies by many individuals over the past 300 years have led to our present understanding of this process. One of the first studies, by Jan Baptista van Helmont (Dutch, 1577-1640), was published in 1648 after his death. Van Helmont planted a 5-lb willow shoot in a large pot containing [...]

Photosynthesis, Food Products and Nitrogen Fixation in Cyanobacteria

Photosynthesis, Food Products and Nitrogen Fixation in Cyanobacteria ! Photosynthesis, food products: The process of photosynthesis goes on in cyanobacteria in the same manner as in plants. The storage food products in cyanobacteria are somewhat different from those of green plants. The storage product is usually a starch like substance similar to glycogen and is different from the starch produced [...]
