Document Summary

The amount of co2 converted into organic molecules by photosynthesis is about 11 x 1013kg of carbon per year. Photosynthesis: the conversion of carbon dioxide into organic molecules using light energy. 2 processes of light reactions and calvin cycle. Autotrophs: self feeding organisms from carbon dioxide. Photoautotrophs: a photosynthetic organism that uses light as its source of energy and carbon dioxide as its carbon source. Their energy is transferred into heterotrophs after being consumed. Photosynthesis is found in bacteria and eukarya but not in archaea. Archea uses process called phototropy: a nutritional strategy in which light is used as a source of energy. In calvin cycle, energy of atp used to convert co2 into an organic form (carbohydrate) known as carbon fixation, a reduction reaction with electrons being added to co2. The source of electrons required for co2 fixation is from water, called oxygenic photosynthesis because o2 is produced as a by-product.
