Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other organisms use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy in the form of glucose. Chlorophyll, located in chloroplasts, absorbs sunlight and uses the energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose through a two-step process - the light reactions and Calvin cycle. Plants appear green because chlorophyll, the main photosynthetic pigment, absorbs most wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects, giving leaves their green color.
The document summarizes the light-dependent and light-independent phases of photosynthesis. It discusses:
1) How light is absorbed by pigments in the thylakoid and used to excite electrons and generate ATP and NADPH through the electron transport chain.
2) The process of non-cyclic and cyclic photophosphorylation, where ATP is generated as electrons move through the electron transport system.
3) How the products of the light reactions, ATP and NADPH, are used in the light-independent phase to reduce CO2 and produce carbohydrates through biosynthetic pathways in the chloroplast stroma.
Photosynthesis involves the conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy. Chlorophyll, the main photosynthetic pigment, absorbs different wavelengths of light with red and blue absorbed more than green. Light energy is used to produce ATP and split water to form oxygen and hydrogen, while ATP and hydrogen are used to fix carbon dioxide and make glucose. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by temperature, light intensity, and carbon dioxide concentration.

This document summarizes key aspects of photosynthesis. It discusses that there are two types of organisms - autotrophs that get energy from sunlight and heterotrophs that get energy from food. It also describes ATP as a high-energy molecule used to store and transport energy in cells. The main ingredients for photosynthesis are outlined as water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, and chlorophyll, which is the green pigment found in chloroplasts. The overall equation for photosynthesis is provided. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy, which breaks apart water molecules to release oxygen and provides energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy in the form of glucose. It occurs in two stages: in the light-dependent reactions, sunlight is absorbed and used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, producing oxygen as a byproduct. In the light-independent reactions, the glucose is then assembled from carbon dioxide using energy from the light reactions. The light reactions take place in chloroplasts within plant cells, while the dark reactions occur in the chloroplast stroma. Photosynthesis is essential for producing oxygen and food on Earth.

Photosynthesis converts light energy to chemical energy in the form of sugars. It occurs in plants, algae, and other organisms through two main stages - the light reaction and Calvin cycle. The light reaction uses energy from sunlight to make ATP and NADPH in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The Calvin cycle then uses ATP and NADPH to incorporate carbon dioxide from the air into organic carbon compounds to make sugars. Understanding photosynthesis can help reduce carbon dioxide levels through applications like using plants to capture carbon.
This document summarizes the dark reaction (also known as the Calvin cycle) in plant photosynthesis. There are two major pathways for carbon fixation during this reaction: the C3 cycle and the C4 cycle. The C3 cycle fixes carbon dioxide into a 3-carbon compound called 3-phosphoglycerate using the enzyme rubisco. The fixed carbon is then reduced using ATP and NADPH to produce carbohydrates like glucose. The C4 cycle acts as an adaptation for plants in hot, dry environments. It initially fixes carbon dioxide into a 4-carbon compound in mesophyll cells before it is released and incorporated into the C3 cycle in bundle sheath cells. This anatomy is known as Kranz anatomy and

This document provides an overview of photosynthesis presented by Mr. M Dlamini in 2022. It discusses the key components and processes of photosynthesis including light and light-independent reactions, the Calvin cycle, and C3, C4 and CAM pathways. Photosynthesis uses energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds to fuel life on Earth. It occurs in chloroplasts in plant cells and involves the absorption of light, transfer of electrons, and synthesis of ATP and NADPH followed by carbon fixation through the Calvin cycle.
The document provides an overview of photosynthesis, including:
1) Photosynthesis uses light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars and oxygen through a two-stage process of light-dependent and light-independent reactions.
2) The light reactions convert solar energy to chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle then uses this chemical energy to fix carbon from carbon dioxide into sugars.
3) Two photosystems, Photosystem I and Photosystem II, work together to drive electron transport and generate a proton gradient used to produce ATP through chemiosmosis.
1. The light reaction of photosynthesis occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and involves the absorption of light by photosynthetic pigments.

3. The products of the light reaction, ATP and NADPH, are used in the Calvin cycle to fix carbon from CO2 into organic molecules like glucose.
The document summarizes photosynthesis, including both the light-dependent and light-independent reactions. It explains that the light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes and produce ATP and NADPH through the absorption of light by photosystems. The light-independent reactions take place in the chloroplast stroma and use ATP and NADPH to produce glucose through the Calvin cycle. The structure of the chloroplast is adapted to efficiently carry out these two stages of photosynthesis through the stacking of thylakoids and positioning of the stroma.
Light independent reactions of photosynthesisMark McGinley
The Calvin cycle is the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis that converts the energy from ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions into glucose. The cycle begins with carbon dioxide reacting with the five-carbon sugar RuBP to form an unstable six-carbon intermediate. This intermediate is then reduced and regenerated into two molecules of the three-carbon compound PGA. PGA is then converted into G3P using energy from ATP and NADPH, and G3P can be used to produce glucose or regenerate RuBP, using ATP.
Photosynthesis occurs in leaves through the processes of light-dependent and light-independent reactions. In the light-dependent reactions, chloroplasts use pigments like chlorophyll to absorb sunlight and drive photophosphorylation through non-cyclic or cyclic pathways. This generates ATP and NADPH that fuel the light-independent Calvin cycle where CO2 is fixed into glucose using enzymes like RuBisCO. The overall process requires chloroplast structures in mesophyll cells as well as transport of reactants and products through the leaf.

This intermediate is then reduced and regenerated into two molecules of the three-carbon compound PGA.

The document provides information about cellular respiration, which is the process by which cells generate energy by breaking down glucose and oxygen molecules. It discusses the three main stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and partially oxidizes glucose into pyruvate, producing 2 ATP and 2 NADH. The pyruvate then enters the mitochondria and is further oxidized to acetyl-CoA to feed into the Krebs cycle, producing 6 more NADH, 2 FADH2, and 2 ATP. In the electron transport chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transferred to oxygen to
The document discusses several key physiological processes involved in crop production, with a focus on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen through a series of light-dependent and light-independent reactions. It occurs in the chloroplasts of plant leaves through the absorption of light by chlorophyll and other pigments, and generates ATP and NADPH that power the fixation of carbon during the dark reactions. Photosynthesis is vital as it produces organic molecules, oxygenates the atmosphere, and forms the basis of food webs on Earth.

Stage 1= Light reactions- in thylakoid membranes and thylakoid space, the main products of this stage are some the main reactants of the next stage
Stage 2= Calvin cycle- in stroma, some of the products of this stage are some of the main reactants for stage 1.
10.2 Light Rxns. Chemical Energy of Sun ( ATP and NADPH____________________
6. Green light is _____reflected______________ (reflected/absorbed) by a chloroplast, giving it its green color.
7. What wavelengths of light are most effective in driving photosynthesis?
Violet and red
Briefly describe the experiment (discussed in the chapter and powerpoint for this chapter) that identified these wavelengths of light.
The plants produced high levels of oxygen (one of the major products of photosynthesis) when exposed to violet and red light and produced little to no oxygen when exposed to other wavelengths of light. This makes sense. Think about the photosystem reaction centers in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. P680 and P700, the letter “P” represents “photosystem” and the numbers refer to the wavelengths of light the photosystems absorb. Wavelengths 680 and 700 are both in the red range!
8. Describe what happens when chlorophyll absorbs light?
Electrons in chlorophyll absorb energy and are “jumped” to higher energy level.
9. Photosystems: What are they and where are they located?
Light harvesting comp.
Phototrophs use light energy and photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide. There are two types of photosynthesis - oxygenic photosynthesis, which produces oxygen and is used by plants, algae and cyanobacteria, and anoxygenic photosynthesis, which is used by certain bacteria and does not produce oxygen. Both types of photosynthesis require light-absorbing pigments like chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll to capture light energy and drive the photosynthetic reactions that fix carbon dioxide.
Physiological processes like photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and translocation affect crop production. Photosynthesis is the most important process whereby plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using chlorophyll and sunlight. It provides energy and organic molecules for plants and the basis for the food chain. The key factors that influence photosynthesis are internal factors like chlorophyll and leaf age and anatomy as well as external environmental factors such as light, temperature, carbon dioxide, and water availability.
this presentation contains briefing of the chapter as per NCERT syllabus in details that contains photosynthesis process, early experiments, photosynthetic pigments,photophosphorylation, light reactions and dark reactions n factors affecting photsynthesis.
The document outlines the goals and key concepts to be covered in a chapter on photosynthesis, including distinguishing between autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition, describing the structure and function of chloroplasts, explaining the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis including the Calvin cycle, and summarizing alternative carbon fixation pathways such as C4 and CAM photosynthesis.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
