Describe in words what occurs during the process represented by the photosynthesis equation. Include the importance of sunlight

Biology

Answer:

Carbon dioxide and water are combined in a series of reactions.

Sunlight provides energy for the reactions.

The end result of photosynthesis is the production of sugars (glucose, a food) and oxygen (a gas).

The energy from sunlight is stored in the glucose.

Photosynthesis usually takes place in the leaves. Leaf cells contain many chloroplasts (up to 50 per cell). These organelles contain a green pigment, chlorophyll, capable of capturing light energy. This energy is used to make sugar molecules from water drawn from the soil by the roots and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, captured by the leaves. The sugars produced subsequently distributed in the different parts of the plant.

Here is the reaction of photosynthesis:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2

But this balance is in fact broken down into two successive stages:

photochemical reactions (clear phase):

12 H2O + light ==> 6 O2 + chemical energy;

the Calvin cycle (dark phase):

6 CO2 + chemical energy ==> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O.

The first phase of photosynthesis, called clear phase, requires the illumination of the leaf. Chlorophyll, which is embedded in the thylakoid membrane, absorbs light energy. This energy absorption is accompanied by the degradation of water molecules and the release of oxygen.

In a second phase independent of light, called the dark phase, the energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used for the transformation of carbon dioxide molecules into sugar molecules.

The sugars made by photosynthesis are stored in the cell as starch, transformed into other organic molecules, such as proteins, or degraded in the mitochondria during respiration to meet the energy needs of the plant.

How are the daughter cells produced by meiosis<br>different from those produced by mitosis?​
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

In mitosis, the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. But, in  while meiosis, the daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent.

The daughter cells produced by mitosis are identical, whereas the daughter cells produced by meiosis are different because crossing over has occurred.

Eggs and sperm are called gametes. What problem would result if gametes were diploid?​
telo118 [61]

Answer: If gametes were produced instead by mitosis each gamete would be diploid not haploid.  During fertilization of diploid gametes, the zygote would become 4n=92. With each new generation the number of chromosomes would double.
