Plant Physiology

Photosynthisis key facts:
# Converts light energy to chemicle energy.
# Raw materials = water and carbon dioxide.
# Controlling factor = availability and intensity of light.
# Photosynthisis occurs on chloroplasts ; predominaly in the leaf.

Light independent reactions:
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll. The light energy is then converted to chemical energy (A.D.P + P = A.T.P). Water is split into hydrogen ions; electrons and oxygen.

Diffusion: Is the process by which molecules or ions of fluids or gasses tend to spread out from regions of ...
