Document Summary
Cycle 3 - chapter 7: photosynthesis: 7. 1a - photosynthesis is an oxidation-reduction process. Photosynthesis can be measured using the consumption rate of co2 or the production rate of o2. 6 co2 + 12 h2o c6h12o6 + 6 o2 + 6 h2o is a redox reaction. It consists of two half-reactions, a reduction reaction coupled with an oxidation reaction. Water is oxidized to oxygen, while carbon dioxide is being reduced to glucose. Photosynthesis the conversion of light energy to chemical energy in the form of sugar and other organic molecules. Organic compounds contain more than one c-h bond. Autotrophs an organism that produces its own food using co2 and other simple inorganic compounds from its environment and energy from the sun or from oxidation of inorganic substances. Photoautotrophic organisms are primary producers: 7. 1b - photosynthesis can be divided into the light reactions and the calvin. The process of photosynthesis requires two different processes; the calvin cycle, which follows the light reactions.
