Photosynthesis carbohydrate production

Plantae The plant kingdom nonmobile, autotrophic, multicellular eukaryotes. Kingdom of the plants, autotrophic eukaryotes with cellulose in their cell walls and starch as a carbohydrate storage product, with chlorophylls a and b as photosynthesis pigments. 

Even higher organisms can be used for the production of labeled compounds. Plants, tobacco, or Canna indica for example, when grown in an exclusive atmosphere of radioactive carbon dioxide, [ 002], utilize the labeled precursor as the sole source of carbon for photosynthesis. After a suitable period of growth, almost every carbon atom in the plant is radioactive. Thus, plants can serve as an available source of C-labeled carbohydrates (9). 

That is, in the process of photosynthesis, the two oxygen atoms in O2 come from two H2O molecules. One O is lost from CO2 and. appears in H2O, and the other O of CO2 is retained in the carbohydrate product. Two of the four H atoms are accounted for in (CH2O), and two reduce the O lost from CO2 to H2O. 

The process occurring in plants and algae by which water is oxidized to molecular oxygen and carbon dioxide is converted to carbohydrates in the presence of light is called photosynthesis. In addition to the products oxygen and carbohydrate, light energy is stored chemically in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for later use for a variety of purposes. The production of... 

Since D-fructose and D-glucose phosphates are amongst the first products of photosynthesis, and since starch (in plants) and glycogen (in animals) are converted by phosphorylase to D-glucosyl phosphate, biosynthesis of carbohydrates revolves around these ubiquitous compounds...

Carbohydrates are among the most abundant constituents of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Polymeric carbohydrates function as important food reserves, and as stmctural components in cell walls. Animals and most microorganisms are dependent upon the carbohydrates produced by plants for their very existence. Carbohydrates are the first products formed in photosynthesis, and are the products from which plants S5mthesize their own food reserves, as well as other chemical constituents. These materials then become the foodstuffs of other organisms. The main pathways of carbohydrate biosynthesis and degradation comprise an important component of... 

Carbohydrates Ultimately, carbohydrates cire the product of photosynthesis, the process in plants that combines carbon dioxide, water, and energy with chlorophyll and other biomolecules to produce Ccirbohy-drates and release oxygen gas. The major carbohydrate formed during photosynthesis is glucose. Plants and animals sometimes combine simple carbohydrates such as glucose into more complicated carbohydrates such as stcirch, glycogen, and cellulose. 

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to carbohydrates. Both the carbon dioxide and water come from the environment. Photosynthesis is the main process that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Oxygen and water vapor are released into the atmosphere as by-products of the reactions of photosynthesis. 

Photosynthesis The process by which chlorophyll-containing plants and other organisms use carbon dioxide, water, and energy from sunlight to synthesize carbohydrates oxygen is given off as a by-product. 

Starch granule temporarily stores carbohydrate products of photosynthesis... 

Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules on Earth. Each year, photosynthesis converts more than 100 billion metric tons of C02 and H20 into cellulose and other plant products. Certain carbohydrates (sugar and starch) are a dietary staple in most parts of the world, and the oxidation of carbohydrates is the central energy-yielding pathway in most nonphotosynthetic cells. Insoluble carbohydrate polymers serve as structural and protective elements in the cell walls of bacteria and plants and in the connective tissues of animals. Other carbohydrate polymers lubricate skeletal joints and participate in recognition and adhesion between cells. More complex carbohydrate polymers covalently... 

Perhaps most interesting are endothermic reactions that result in products of less entropy (Case IV). What is notable about these reactions is that they will not occur on their own without the continued input of energy. Also, the products of these reactions can be complex molecules. The classic example is photosynthesis, which is the biochemical reaction by which plants use solar energy to create carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, as represented by the following equation ...
