10/28/14 Linkage between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration The link between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is an inverse relationship. Each cycle depends on one another in order for the "entire cycle" to take place. The completed cycle make certain that life continues to exist on the planet. Both are necessary for living organisms. Photosynthesis is the process by which carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds from sunlight. Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and

length. Microalgae include cyanobacteria(blue-green algae) as well as green, brown and red algae. Algae grows in water resources such as brackish, sea and waste water unsuitable for cultivating agricultural crops. Most microalgae grow through photosynthesis which is by converting sunlight, CO2 and a few nutrients, including nitrogen and phosphorus ,into material known as biomass. This is called “autotrophic” growth. Meanwhile ,algae is also able to grow in the dark using sugar or starch called “heterotrophic”

Investigating the abundance/height of butter cups in a managed and unmanaged area Aim To investigate the abundance of buttercups in managed and unmanaged areas in terms of their height and abundance. Hypothesis Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no significant correlation between the management of an area and percentage cover of buttercups. Alternate Hypothesis (H1): There is a significant correlation between the management of an area and percentage cover of buttercups. Background information

What does it take to be a living organism? A living organism involves genetic material, a cell membrane, and the capability to multiply on its own. Rock vs Snail The characteristics between a rock and a snail both contain great amounts of carbon. They both change over time. The rock may be weather-beaten by its atmosphere and does not react to stimuli. A snail responds to stimuli, such as the substances that recognize the existence of a food source. If a predator is close, the rock is unpretentious

is the starting point of this food chain. The grass is eaten up by deer and the deer is then eaten up by a lion. In this food chain, grass is the producer organism which uses sunlight energy to prepare food like carbohydrates by the process of photosynthesis. This grass is then consumed by a herbivore called deer. And the deer is consumed by a carnivore called

water-use efficiency. suggest a partial closure of stomata1—small pores on the leaf surface that regulate gas exchange—to maintain a nearconstant concentration ofCO2 inside the leaf even under continually increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. photosynthesis indicates that increasing atmospheric CO2 should lead to an increase in both photosynthetic uptake and water-use efficiency4—that is, the ‘CO2 fertilization effect’. These include: climate change; nitrogen deposition and accumulation; changes

type, namely the blue-green bacteria, look like algae. They are filamentous and quite long, green, but have no visible structure inside the cells. No visible feeding mechanism. They absorb nutrients through the cell wall or produce their own by photosynthesis. a. Archaebacteria - The archaebacteria kingdom (Archaebacterium in Latin) is made up of single-celled organisms and the name of the kingdom means “ancient bacteria.” Scientists actually believe that members of the archaebacteria kingdom were

the plant. 6. It is located in the stem, roots and in the leaves. It provides strength and support to the stem, stores food and water in the roots and helps photosynthesis occur in the leaves. 7. Photosynthesis and gas exchange occurs in specialized ground tissues called mesophyll that are found in leaves. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are converted into sugar and oxygen. 8. Regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth that makes cells and organisms

its survival. It could be bees taking pollen from a flower, photosynthesis of plants, deer eating shrub leaves or lions eating the deer. A food chain shows how energy is transferred from one living organism to another via food. It is important for us to understand how the food chain works so that we know what are the important living organisms that make up the food chain and how the ecology is balanced. Photosynthesis is only the beginning of the food chain. There are many types
