Flow of energy and matter in ecosystems
This document discusses light and pigments involved in photosynthesis. It explains that light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum consisting of waves of different lengths and energies. Visible light separates into different colors when passed through a prism. Photosynthetic pigments absorb light energy and convert it to chemical energy through photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is the main pigment in plants and absorbs most wavelengths except green which it reflects, making plants appear green. Accessory pigments absorb wavelengths not absorbed by chlorophyll. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which contain thylakoid membranes where the photosystems and pigments are located to convert light to chemical energy.
Chloroplast
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and other eukaryotic cells that are the site of photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll and have a double membrane structure, with stacks of internal membranes called thylakoids that are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, chloroplasts capture energy from sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich molecules like glucose through a two-stage process of light-dependent and light-independent reactions.

The document discusses microbial photosynthesis and the process of photosynthesis in plants. It begins by explaining that the sun is the main source of energy for life on Earth and provides details about its composition and layers. It then describes how photosynthesis uses light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through two stages - the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. The light reactions generate ATP and NADPH using energy from sunlight, while the Calvin cycle uses these products to incorporate carbon from carbon dioxide into organic molecules to form glucose.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS.pptx
Photosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Almost all the oxygen in the atmosphere is due to the process of photosynthesis. If photosynthesis ceased, there would soon be little food or other organic matter on Earth, most organisms would disappear, and Earth’s atmosphere would eventually become nearly devoid of gaseous oxygen.
photosynthesis 1 (1).ppt
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 takes place in chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich glucose. The oxygen is released as a byproduct. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: the light-dependent reactions where energy from sunlight is captured and the light-independent reactions where carbon dioxide is reduced using the energy from the light reactions.

Intro to Photosynthesis.pdf
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts and involves two phases - the light-dependent and light-independent reactions. The light-dependent reactions use energy from light to convert water to oxygen and produce ATP and NADPH. This occurs through the absorption of light by photosystems in the thylakoid membranes which creates a proton gradient, driving ATP synthase to produce ATP. The light-independent reactions then use ATP and NADPH to fix carbon from CO2 into glucose.

It occurs in chloroplasts through two stages - the light-dependent reactions where light energy is captured to form ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent reactions where carbon dioxide is fixed into sugars using ATP and NADPH. Oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which has played a key role in maintaining the oxygen content of Earth's atmosphere.
Plastids
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and algae that conduct photosynthesis. They have a complex structure with double and triple membrane systems that divide the chloroplast into compartments. Chloroplasts contain pigments like chlorophyll that capture light energy during photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds like sugars. This process occurs through light-dependent and light-independent reactions. In addition to their primary role in photosynthesis, chloroplasts also synthesize other biomolecules like proteins, lipids, and fatty acids.
Bioluminescence
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by living organisms through an enzyme-controlled oxidative reaction. It is found across many taxa, from bacteria to fish, and has evolved independently in different groups. Bioluminescence occurs through three main types - symbiotic, intracellular, and extracellular - depending on where the light-producing reaction takes place. The reaction involves a luciferin substrate that is oxidized by the luciferase enzyme to produce photons. Bioluminescence serves functions like mating signals for fireflies or lures to attract prey for anglerfish. It has applications in fields like space research, medicine, and pest management.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Title: Gravitational wave detection with orbital motion of Moon and artificial
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe some recent ideas to find gravitational waves from supermassive black holes or of primordial origin by studying their secular effect on the orbital motion of the Moon or satellites that are laser ranged.The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Photosynthesis.pptx
- 2. Terms to be familiar with in this lesson • Autotroph • Photosynthesis • Heterotroph • Light reactions • Chloroplast • Thylakoid • Granum • Stroma Pigment Chlorophyll Carotenoid Photosystem Primary electron receptor Electron transport chain chemiosmosis
- 3. 2 CLASSIFICATIONS OF ORGANISMS •Autotrophs •Heterotrophs Organisms that use energy from sunlight to make organic compounds. Organisms that manufacture their own food Organisms that depend on others for their food.
- 7. Light reaction • The first stage of photosynthesis is called light reaction because plants require light energy to perform this process. • Light reaction begins with the absorption of light in the organelle called chloroplasts.
- 8. Chloroplasts Carbon dioxide enters the leaf, and oxygen exits, by way of microscopic pores called stomata (singular, stoma; from the Greek, meaning “mouth”).
- 9. Chloroplasts Water absorbed by the roots is delivered to the leaves in veins. Leaves also use veins to export sugar to roots and other non photosynthetic parts of the plant.
- 10. Chloroplasts Chloroplasts are surrounded by a pair of membranes; outer and inner membrane. Inside the inner membrane is another system of membranes called thylakoids that are arranged in flattened sacs.
- 11. Chloroplasts Thylakoids are connected and layered to form stacks called grana. Surrounding grana is a solution called stroma.
- 12. Chloroplasts There are about half a million chloroplasts in a chunk of leaf with a top surface area of 1 𝑚𝑚2 . Chloroplasts are found mainly in the cells of the mesophyll, the tissue in the interior of the leaf.
- 13. The Nature of Sunlight
- 14. The Nature of Sunlight • Light is a form of energy known as electromagnetic energy, also called electromagnetic radiation. The distance between the crests of electromagnetic waves is called the wavelength. Wavelengths range from less than a nanometer (for gamma rays) to more than a kilometer (for radio waves). This entire range of radiation is known as the electromagnetic spectrum
- 15. The Nature of Sunlight The segment most important to life is the narrow band from about 380 nm to 750 nm in wavelength. This radiation is known as visible light because it can be detected as various colors by the human eye.
- 16. Photosynthetic Pigments: The Light Receptors When light meets matter, it may be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. Substances that absorb visible light are known as pigments.
- 19. Carotenoids • Absorbs yellow, orange and brown pigments. They also function as accessory pigments
- 22. 2 KINDS OF PHOTOSYSTEM • Photosystem I • Photosystem II
- 24. What happens after chlorophylls absorbed light energy?
Editor's Notes
- Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths, and the wavelengths that are absorbed disappear. If a pigment is illuminated with white light, the color we see is the color most reflected or transmitted by the pigment. (If a pigment absorbs all wavelengths, it appears black.) We see green when we look at a leaf because chlorophyll absorbs violet-blue and red light while transmitting and reflecting green light
- Only chlorophyll A is directly involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll b assists chlorophyll b in capturing light that is why it is called accessory pigment.
