Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic organisms convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of glucose. Without this process life on earth would be very different because every organism directly or indirectly depends on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis helps the plants to grow roots‚ leaves‚ flowers and fruits. It is an extremely important process because plant tissue serves as the bottom of every food chain. The process of photosynthesis is dictated by a number

Hydrilla: An Invasive Species Hydrilla verticillata‚ otherwise known as Hydrilla is an aggressive water weed and is said to be one of the world’s worst invasive aquatic plants. Hydrilla in temperate places around the globe and somehow made its way to the United States. Hydrilla has a special advantage; it grows under lower light conditions than nearly any other species‚ it only needs about 1% of sunlight. This advantage allows hydrilla to grow underneath other plants and survive greater depths;

Hydrilla Verticillata more known as Hydrilla. Hydrilla is an Herbaceous perennial‚ which means it is a type of plant that’s growth dies off after time‚ but its roots survive and keep growing. Hydrilla requires a wet habitat to live‚ it can also reproduce in two different ways: Through fragments of the stems‚ or through the axillary buds(tubers). One single tuber‚ can produce more than 6‚000 new tubers. (Sutton et al. 1992) These tubers attach to the roots‚ and buried in the wet soil. Some Universities

Researchers have long been searching for answers for the elimination and prevention of water pollution‚ which will cost less than the usual and commercial methods used. Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) is a halophyte. Hydrilla verticillata‚ a profusely occurring submergent specie‚ has been found to thrive well in highly polluted water (Sinha‚ et al.‚ 1993). In addition‚ the plant has shown promise in the removal of heavy metals (Gupta and Chandra

Photosynthesis Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis summary Photosynthesis [photosynthesis: The chemical change

Plants are important in regards to everything living and everything period. One way I believe photosynthesis is most beneficial in its relation to species. All living things go through a process. Plants in particular are very important

Photosynthesis is a process through which plants and some certain types of bacteria get energy from the sun’s UV-rays and use it to create and store sugar that is transformed into ATP by cellular respiration later on in the process. In plants‚ this process takes place in chloroplasts‚ which concentrate in the mesophyll cells‚ with the help of chlorophyll‚ the green pigment‚ which is directly involved in photosynthesis. It is important to understand that we see leaves green simply because the green

Photosynthesis (pron.: /foʊtoʊˈsɪnθəsɪs/; from the Greek φώτο- [photo-]‚ "light‚" and σύνθεσις [synthesis]‚ "putting together"‚ "composition") is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism’s activities. Photosynthesis occurs in plants‚ algae‚ and many species of bacteria‚ but not in archaea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautotrophs‚ since they can create their own food. In plants
