The Effect of Sodium Bicarbonate Concentration on the Net Rate of Photosynthesis
Words: 495 Pages: 2 14860During photosynthesis in plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds such as glucose (Lambers & Bassham, 2018). The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO? + 6H?O + light energy = C?H??O? + 6O?. Without the presence of any one of the reactants, autotrophs such as plants cannot undergo photosynthesis and synthesize food and nutrients. In plants, the primary site of photosynthesis is within the leaves. The central leaf […]
