Running head: PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND SEMICONDUCTOR-BASED SOLAR CELL 1 Photosynthesis and Semiconductor-based Solar Cell Jorge Tavarez Strayer University PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND SEMICONDUCTOR-BASED SOLAR CELL 2 Abstract Energy is the capacity to do work and make things happen (Mader, 2009, p. 72). Human or other living things would not be on Earth without the source of energy. In photosynthesis, plant cells harness the sun’s solar energy with carbon

Tutorial #3: Photosynthesis - The Basis of Life 1) Basics of photosynthesis: Review the anatomy of the leaf and the cellular locations and organelles involved in photosynthesis. Describe and explain the role of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen in photosynthesis. Describe and explain the role of water in photosynthesis. Describe the two phases of the photosynthetic process. How do they differ in terms of their inputs, outputs, energy requirements, and spatial locations in the plant

Mr kousen is … Water Man Photosynthesis (the big picture) Like it or not, chemistry continues to sneak itself into our beloved biology course. This is because what distinguishes living things from nonliving things is the presence of cells, and cells are nothing but bags of chemicals with a multitude of chemical reactions occurring inside them. And furthermore, all the metabolic activities in cells are being directed by a famous bunch of chemicals we refer to as DNA. Compounds, chemicals

Green Algae is mostly found in fresh water and there are approximately 6,000 species within the family of green algae with almost all of them having chloroplasts. All Green Algae are photosynthetic organisms and thus produce oxygen from CO2. Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with oxy-gen, which is a contribution to the slowing down of the process of global warming. The survival of fish and other organisms depends on oxygen, which is used by a multitude of life organisms

Plant and other photosynthesis organisms produce foods that begin food chains. We count on the sun to be a constant energy source for both warmth and food production for all of plant Earth. The sunlight that strikes our planet must be converted into a form of chemical energy in order to be useful to all non- photosynthetic organisms. The most common chemical energy produced from photosynthesis is the molecule glucose. Photosynthesis produces sugar molecules as a food source for the plant. Sugars
