In this article we will discuss about the subject-matter and components of electron transport chain. Subject Matter of Electron Transport Chain: The primary function in photosynthesis is the raising of an electron to a higher energy level in chlorophyll. Then the electron is transferred to an acceptor. It is, as if, there is a hole in the chlorophyll which invites [...]
In this article we will discuss about the problem of nutrition in photosynthesis. Every year plant food production of the world is nearly 1.4 x 109 tons of dry matter. This estimate includes cereals, starch, roots, sugar and oil seeds but did not take into account vegetables and fruits. In other words, plant production thus covers only about 1.3% of [...]
In this article we will discuss about the CO2 Fixation Pathways—C4 Cycle. In 1954, in addition to Calvin cycle, an alternative pathway for CO2 fixation in photosynthesis was discovered by Kortschak who reported the formation of C4dicarboxylic acids as primary products of photosynthesis in sugarcane. When 14CO2 was supplied to sugarcane leaves for a short period, 3 four carbon dicarboxylic [...]
