Photosynthesis: Pathway of Carbon Fixation
Photosynthesis is the synthesis of organic molecules using the energy of light. For the sugar glucose (one of the most abundant products of photosynthesis) the equation is: ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things.

Photosynthesis
(Redirected from Hill reaction)
Photosynthesis is a biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria harness the energy of light to produce food.

photosynthesis - use of light to carry out reductive biochemical processes necessary for life. Pigments capture light energy in much the same way as an antenna captures a radio or tv signal. This drives biochemical reactions.

photosynthesis -- biochemical process in which light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, and is used to fuel the building of sugar molecules.
phycocyanin -- blue, water-soluble pigment found in the cyanobacteria and the red algae.

Photosynthesis:
carbon and nitrogen atoms in atmospheric CO2 and N2 are in an oxidized and inert state; to make them more reactive they have to be given a larger number of electrons.

photosynthesis
[Gk. photos, light + syn, together + tithenai, to place]
The conversion of light energy to chemical energy that is stored in glucose or other organic compounds; occurs in plants, algae, and certain prokaryotes.

photosynthesis - conversion of light energy (sunlight) to chemical energy (glucose) through several enzymatically catalyzed steps: energy + C02 + H2O 6 sugar + O2 ...

photosynthesis The biochemical process by which green plants and some bacteria capture light energy and use it to produce chemical bonds. Carbon dioxide and water are consumed while oxygen and simple sugars are produced.

photosynthesis. The process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
physiological disorder. A disorder caused by factors other than a pathogen; abiotic disorder.

This insight includes, among others: (1) Cells can be grown in the absence of either oxygen evolution (by photosynthesis) or oxygen uptake (by respiration) when a fixed-carbon source is available; ...

The emergence of oxygenic photosynthesis (c. 3 billion years ago) and the subsequent emergence of an oxygen-rich, non-reducing atmosphere can be traced through the formation of banded iron deposits, and later red beds of iron oxides.

In the case of ecosystem functions we look at photosynthesis, nutrient cycling, population control, dispersal mechanisms, temporal patterns of flowering , breeding, dormancy, and so forth.

A process that reduces the yield of photosynthesis, because the active site of rubisco accepts O2 in place of CO2 and generates no ATP.

Given the DNA sequence for a protein involved in a particular metabolic strategy - photosynthesis, for example - you could construct oligos so that the presence of that gene could be detected using PCR.

Archeons in their general sizes and shapes, but are distinguished from them by different membrane structures, gene sequences, and metabolisms. One important type of bacteria is the cyanobacteria, which use chlorophyll for oxygenic photosynthesis.
