Photosynthesis is the process of converting solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen. ... The second step uses the energy to convert carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. Solar Energy 6CO2+12H2O ---> C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O (Chlorophyll) The carbohydrate (C6H12O6+6O2) can be converted into starch and stored by the plant. Carbohydrate can be combined with other sugar molecules to make cellulose, the basic structural material of a plant. ... During plant respiration, carbohydrates...

Photosynthesis is a very complex process which is divided into two phases. The first phase is called the light-dependent reaction, this is when chlorophyll absorbs light energy. The products of the light-dependent reaction are ATP and NADPH which will be used in the second phase. The second phase...

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth's average temperature would be abou...

Abstract Most of media and public attention has focused on the effects that higher concentrations of CO2  are likely to have on the global climate. However,  rising CO2  concentrations are also likely to have profound direct effects on the growth of plants because CO2 is a reactant in photosynthe...
