photosynthetic process

Photosynthetic phosphorylation or photophosphorylation is the process of phosphate group transfer into ADP to synthesize energy rich ATP molecule making use of light as external energy source. According to chemi osmotic hypothesis (Mitchell 1961) the ATP is synthesized on ..

. Glycine is converted to serine and CO 2 in the mitochondria. The serine thus formed is converted to glycerate, through a series of reactions which occurs in the peroxisome. This process is known as photorespiration or photosynthetic carbon oxidation cycle. Photorespiration is ..

Photosynthesis is the only process which produces enormous quantities of organic matter for sustaining the life on this globe. It is the only known method of manufacture of organic food from inorganic raw materials. Animals including man are directly or indirectly dependent on photos..

The photoautotrophic bacteria possess photosynthetic pigments in membrane bound lamellae (or thylakoids) and utilise solar energy. The bacterial photosynthesis is different from that of green plants since here water is not used as a hydrogen donor. Hence oxygen is not released as a byp..

CAM refers to a mechanism of photosynthesis that occurs only in succulents and other plants that grow in dry conditions. a) In CAM plants, CO 2 is taken up by the leaves, which are present on green stems through the stomata. But the stomata remain open only during the night. During the day it rem..

The atmosphere contains a pool of CO 2 . CO 2 is removed from the pool by the photosynthetic activities of plants. It is released back into the environment by respiration which is carried out by all organisms including those micro-organisms (decomposing bacteria) responsible for the decay..

>Examples of saprozoans are Mastigamoeba and Chilomonas. Symbiosis is the association of two dissimilar organisms. The association may be mutually beneficial (mutualism), benefiting one organism and harming another (parasitism) and benefiting one but having no effect on the other (commensalism). Pa..

C 4 pathway - C 4 plants like maize, sugarcane; pearl millet, etc. have evolved a wonderful mechanism to avoid photorespiration, which is considered a wasteful process. In these plants three or 2 types of photosynthetic cells namely mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells. The b..

The storage and expenditure of energy in an ecosystem is in accordance with the laws of thermodynamics (basic laws of thermodynamics). The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy, which says that 'energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one..
