What comes out of the reaction
How many hydrogen atoms come in and come out of photosynthesis?
12 atoms come in. 12 atoms come out.
How many oxygen atoms come in and come out of photosynthesis?
12 oxygen atoms come in. 12 oxygen atoms come out.
How many carbon atoms come in and come out of photosynthesis?
6 carbon atoms come in. 6 carbon atoms come out.
How can photosynthesis be used to produce medications?
It can be used to create medications by transferring light energy into bonds.
Why is photosynthesis important to us?
It is important to us because we are dependent on the autotrophs to convert and provide the energy for us.
How is light energy converted into chemical energy in photosynthesis?
Light energy is converted into chemical energy in photosynthesis because of a chemical reaction. Carbon Dioxide, water and light turn into glucose and oxygen because of the chloroplast and the chlorophyll in the photoautotrophs.
Photoautotrophs 3 examples
Organisms capable of performing photosynthesis, and thus they convert/provide energy for us. Plants, Algae and some Bacteria
What is photodynamic therapy and how can it be used to treat cancer?
Photodynamic therapy is a treatment used to destroy cancer cells. It can be used to treat cancer by using a specific wavelength of light to destroy cancer cells.
