Which gas do plants give out during photosynthesis?
Leaves look green because chlorophyll does not absorb green light.
In the overall equation 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂, how many molecules of oxygen are made for every one molecule of glucose?
Through which openings does carbon dioxide get into a leaf?
Where does the oxygen released by photosynthesis come from?
Each turn of the Calvin cycle fixes one CO₂. How many turns are needed to make enough carbon for one glucose molecule (C₆H₁₂O₆)?
The Calvin cycle is correctly called the 'dark reaction' because it runs only at night.
Explain how the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle depend on each other.
Global net primary production has been estimated at about 104.9 Pg C per year with roughly equal land and ocean shares. What does this imply about where photosynthesis happens, and why should such a figure be treated as an estimate?
