Brief summary of photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is described in biology. It is quite a complex process that is taught to students in their final years of schooling. A brief summary can give you an overview of the processes.
The term photosynthesis comes from ancient Greek and is made up of φῶς, light, and σύνθεσις, composition. From the derivation you can already see that photosynthesis describes a process that has to do with the action of light. It takes place in nature and becomes that biochemistry assigned. Photosynthesis can be demonstrated in plants, bacteria and algae.
Photosynthesis as a biochemical process
- It is a biochemical process and a brief summary can be provided for easy understanding. However, the processes that take place during this process are very complex. The most important basics are clearly conveyed in schools.
- There are two forms of photosynthesis. They are known as oxygen and anoxygen. As the name suggests, the oxygenic form produces oxygen. In the anoxygenic form, other substances arise, for example sulfur.
A brief summary of the process
The short summary cannot reproduce the complexity of photosynthesis, but it does provide a good overview of the processes in which, among other things, vital oxygen is produced.
- Light is required for photosynthesis. the energy of light can transform a low-energy substance into a high-energy one. This happens in different stages.
- In the first stage, chlorophyll is required. It is a light-absorbing dye. Other substances can also trigger the process. The chlorophyll ensures that light energy becomes chemical energy.
- The chemical energy ensures that, for example, hydrogen and carbon dioxide, which are inorganic and low in energy, are broken down. Energy-rich organic compounds such as oxygen are created during the oxygenic form of the process. These connections are needed for the maintenance of life on earth.
Photosynthesis and cell respiration are chemical processes of metabolism. Together is ...
In nature, photosynthesis is one of the oldest proven biochemical processes that are existential for all ecological systems on earth. The formation of oxygen ensures the survival of all living things. In addition, the protective ozone layer is built up with the oxygen.
