Productivity photosynthetic process

The complex construction of reaction centers is the product of evolutionary selection for efficiency in the photosynthetic process. The excited state (Chl)2 could in principle decay to its ground state by internal conversion, a very rapid process (10 picoseconds 1 ps = 10 12 s) in which the energy of the absorbed photon is... 

IJA is the rate of decomposition of detritus in environment A kA is the kinematical coefficient of vertical diffusion is the velocity of nutrient assimilation by the photosynthetic process per unit of phytoplankton production ef is the proportional part of the eth radionuclide that is chemically analogous to B6 A on substrate A H is the rate of input flow of the eth radionuclide 7) is the rate of exchange with the environment p is that part of biomass losses due to exchange that transforms into nutrients (Legendre and Legendre, 1998) and f3v is upwelling velocity. Equation (6.1) is the basic element of block NM. 

The photosynthetic process in nature represents a sophisticated biochemical system for the conversion and storage of solar light energy in the form of fuel products [5-9], In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are converted to carbohydrates, (Eq. (1)), using solar light as energy source. The global quantities of C02, carbonates, and bicarbonates is estimated to be 1016 tons [10]. This... 

Blooms of P. antarctica occur in regions where trace metals, notably iron, are limiting phytoplankton growth (Martin et al. 1990 Coale et al. 2003, Schoemann et al. 2005). The effect of iron limitation on the overflow production by P. antarctica is largely unknown. Since iron limitation directly affects the photosynthetic process (Geider and La Roche 1994) the production of carbohydrates is likely to be hampered,...

As mentioned above, because of their ability to produce oxidized products under strictly anaerobic conditions, both types of photosynthetic processes are of potential importance in the chemical evolution of Earth, and understanding the timing of their appearance and metabolic success on Earth represent major challenges for... 

The chief purpose of the photosynthetic process is considered to be the A. production of water...
