Examples Of Photosynthesis
I can model Photosynthesis with The Law of Conservation Of matter and The Law of Conservation of energy. I know this because of the articles i've read the articles are Discovering the secrets of Photosynthesis, Joseph Priestley, Discoverer of Oxygen and Photosynthesis: Yucky chemistry Details.

Photosynthesis is a good example of the Law of conservation of Energy because in the process of Photosynthesis the radiant energy is absorbed by the plant. The radiant energy is then turned into chemical energy, the animals eat the plant and use the plants chemical energy to run and play and then it start all over again like a chain reaction, the animals rely on the plants to give them the energy they need to get thru their day. ( Photosynthesis:

In the process of photosynthesis the tree takes sunlight which is also known as radiant energy and water and carbon dioxide and stores it inside the stem which causes it to grow, produce oxygen, and make its own food. ( Discovering the secrets of Photosynthesis, Van Helmont).

Another reason why The Law of Conservation of Matter is a good example of Photosynthesis, because when their is Oxygen in a jar and then you put a mouse in the jar. The mouse would use up all the oxygen and fill the jar with carbon dioxide and won't have any fresh air and then the mouse will die. If you put a plant in the jar with the mouse, the plant would absorb the carbon dioxide in the jar and make oxygen that the mouse could use. The mouse would survive longer because of photosynthesis. ( Discovering the secrets of photosynthesis, Joseph priestly).

All of my evidence has shown how photosynthesis can be modeled by using the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of matter. Photosynthesis helps the law of conservation of matter by making plants grow, which then helps photosynthesis develop more. Photosynthesis helps the law of conservation of matter by helping the plant get what it needs to grow and produce its food, and this helps the animals get the nutrients and minerals it needs to survive the

    As stated in the intro photosynthesis, “is the process is where plants use “light energy from the sun that is converted into carbon dioxide and water to glucose sugar and oxygen gas through a series of reactions.” ("Chemical Formula Basic Chemistry - Writing Chemical Formula To Balancing Chemical Equations", 2014) All of this information is complied in an equation that helps understand the process, carbon dioxide + water = light energy => glucose + oxygen. The carbon dioxide can be found in the air, water comes from the earth and the energy comes from the sun. Chloroplasts trap the light energy, water then enters the leaves from the earth, and the carbon dioxide enters from the stomata. All of these combined produce glucose and oxygen, which then leaves the leaf and is stored in the plant tissue.…

    Photosynthesis is the process of converting solar energy, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O) into carbohydrates (CH2O) and oxygen (O2). Sometimes the end product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6). Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Here membranous thylakoids are stacked in grana surrounded by the stroma. During the light reactions, pigments within the thylakoid membranes absorb solar energy, water is split, and oxygen is released. (Mader, 2010)…

    Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae and some bacteria absorb light energy and use it to synthesize organic compounds. In green plants, photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, that contain the photosynthetic pigments. Photosynthesis occurs by slightly different processes in C3 and C4 plants. Factors which can affect this are the stomata. Plants can regulate the movements of water vapor, O2 and CO2 through the leaf surface. This is accomplished by opening and closing the stomata, usually found on the bottom…

    Photosynthesis is a chemical process that converts the sunlight into a chemical energy that plants store for later. Without photosynthesis, the world as we know it would not exist. All the plants would die and so would a major food and oxygen source. During Photosynthesis water is sucked up through the roots up the stem and to the leaves. The leaves take in carbon dioxide and begin to absorb sunlight. these things combine to make glucose and oxygen. The plant then uses the glucose and oxygen is expelled through the stomata of the plant as a waste product. In The leaves there are a very special pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is responsible for the absorption of sunlight. Richard Martin Willstätter is the man responsible for studying these structures.…

    The plants nourishes because of the energy that the sugar provides to it. The oxygen that we inhale is created by them, and in turn, the CO2 is created by humans and animals when they exhale, as well as cars. After that, respiration occurs during the night.

    Photosynthesis is the process by which plants create food for themselves which occurs in the cytoplast organ of the cell. They absorb carbon dioxide, water, and solar energy to produce glucose and oxygen (Doc C). Cellular respiration on the other hand, is the process occurring in the mitochondria by which organisms create energy to power cellular processes. This process takes in glucose and oxygen to create carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP (Doc C). These processes follow the law of conservation of matter and energy as the amount of products is always equal to the amount of reactants in a chemical equation. So the amount of glucose and oxygen created during photosynthesis is equal to the amount of carbon dioxide and water used and the amount of carbon dioxide and water produced during cellular respiration is equal to the amount of glucose and oxygen used. Many people notice that the products of cellular respiration are the reactants of photosynthesis and the products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration. This is because the two processes work together to provide organisms with food and…

    To many students, the most perplexing aspect of photosynthesis is how plants obtain energy from sunlight. To understand how plants obtain energy from sunlight, one must understand kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy resulting from motion (Brown & Schwartz, 2009). Light is literally a photon, a tiny moving particle. If a photon of light hits another object it can impart energy to that object. This is similar to a game of pool in which a cue ball hits an object ball and causes it to move. If a photon of light hits a molecule in just the right angle and is moving just the right speed, then it will cause the molecule it hits to eject an electron (Brown & Schwartz, 2009).…
