THE EFFECTS OF LIGHT AND CHLOROPHYLL DURING PHOTOSYNITHIS
THE EFFECTS OF LIGHT AND CHLOROPHYLL DURING PHOTOSYNITHIS
Background Information
Years ago it was believed that plants needed only water to grow. With years of research its how known that green plants need the energy of sunlight to produce food, in the form of glucose, from carbon dioxide and water. This is the process photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis consists of two stages a series of light dependent reactions that are temperature independent and a series of temperature dependent reactions that are light independent. The rate of the first series, called the light reaction, can be increased by increasing light intensity (within certain limits) but not by increasing temperature. In the second series, called the dark reaction, the rate can be increased by increasing temperature. (Within certain limits), but not by increasing light intensity.
