Q&A: photosynthesis in plants in the ocean?
Mar 31st
Question by ninjapenguin: photosynthesis in vegetation in the ocean? photosynthesis can’t take place without sunlight. how do vegetation that are so deep in the ocean that they don’t get sunlight develop power?
Finest response:
Answer by Dean M.There aren’t any vegetation that live deep in the ocean since of the lack of sunlight. But there are animal comminities that thrive about deep sea thermal vents that don’t depend on vegetation as the producers. As a substitute, there are bacteria that reside in the cells of some of these organisms that are chemoautotrophs, which means they use chemical power to make meals for themselves More >
where does photosynthesis take place in the ocean?
Dec 27th
Question by girly!!: where does photosynthesis take place in the ocean? shallow areas where seagrass can grow?
tropical areas?
the photic zone?
it does not take place in the ocean; ocean organisms must get their energy from land?
Which one is it? I cant figure it out ir you know it just post below thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by science teacherPhotosynthesis occurs in green plants and in the ocean in some other pigmented organisms. The shallow area would have kelp and other algaes, but photosynthesis takes place all over. The tropical areas are warm, but photosynthesis takes place all over. . Photic zone refers to areas where More >
The deep ocean is too dark for photosynthesis. What would you say is the main source of energy?
Oct 14th
Question by Lulu: The deep ocean is too dark for photosynthesis. What would you say is the main source of energy? what mechanism allows energy to be available
Best answer:
Answer by Ken UWell to begin with there’s not much life down there anyway. Most life exists near vents, where heat, and metals provide the energy.

How is light energy converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis?
Sep 5th
Question by Lester: How is light energy converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis? In a few simple sentences, describe how is light energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
Best answer:
Answer by Alone GuYIn the light stage light absorbed by chlorophyll is responsible for exciting electrons which pass along electron carriers and result in the production of ATP and NADPH. These two compounds are then used in the dark stage (Calvin Cycle) to fix atmospheric CO2 into carbohydrates.

How much light energy in joules does photosynthesis require?
Jul 30th
Question by Skitter: How much light energy in joules does photosynthesis require? Looking at the simplified formula, how much light energy is required to kick the process off?
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2 How is this calculated?
Best answer:
Answer by Andrew Daothe amount is undeterminable…initially photosyntesis runs with about .06 Candelas to work but im sure it works at .005 candelas just we dont have technology to do it yet

What energy exactly does photosynthesis extract from sunlight?
Jul 7th
Photosynthesis, the biological conversion from light energy to chemical energy… But I thought photons have zero mass (therefore zero energy?), so where is this energy coming from? Does it just refer to the extremely small energy that comes from a photon’s momentum?


Solution to world hunger: Genetically engineer humans to do photosynthesis. Comments?

It wouldn’t even necessarily take any genetic engineering as chloroplasts (the little green organelles in plant cells that make energy from sunlight) come with their own little sets of DNA. More a matter of getting the chloroplasts into our skin cells and then making our skin cells more transparent (yes, there are countless other little details, but the point is that with future technology it might not be a pipe-dream ^_^).
Humans would never need to eat again – hence we wouldn’t need to waste so much energy feeding ourselves. We might get an actual chance at world peace.
