2. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

   Photosynthesis usually refers to oxygenic photosynthesis, a process that produces oxygen. Photosynthetic organisms store the chemical energy so produced within intracellular organic compounds (compounds containing carbon) like sugars, glycogen , cellulose and starches .

3. PI curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PI_Curve

   The PI (or photosynthesis-irradiance) curve is a graphical representation of the empirical relationship between solar irradiance and photosynthesis. A derivation of the Michaelis–Menten curve, it shows the generally positive correlation between light intensity and photosynthetic rate. It is a plot of photosynthetic rate as a function of light ...

4. Calvin cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_cycle

   The Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions, bio synthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction (PCR) cycle [1] of photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carrier compounds into glucose.

5. Earth's energy budget - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_energy_budget

   Photosynthesis also has a significant effect: An estimated 140 TW (or around 0.08%) of incident energy gets captured by photosynthesis, giving energy to plants to produce biomass. [16] A similar flow of thermal energy is released over the course of a year when plants are used as food or fuel.

6. Photosynthetic efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

   Photosynthesis is the only process that allows the conversion of atmospheric carbon (CO2) to organic (solid) carbon, and this process plays an essential role in climate models. This lead researchers to study the sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (i.e., chlorophyll fluorescence that uses the Sun as illumination source; the glow of a plant) as ...

7. C3 carbon fixation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C3_carbon_fixation

   Calvin–Benson cycle. C 3 carbon fixation is the most common of three metabolic pathways for carbon fixation in photosynthesis, the other two being C 4 and CAM.This process converts carbon dioxide and ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP, a 5-carbon sugar) into two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate through the following reaction:

8. Biogeochemical cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogeochemical_cycle

   The equation describing the rate of change of content in a reservoir is d M d t = Q − S = Q − M τ . {\displaystyle {\frac {dM}{dt}}=Q-S=Q-{\frac {M}{\tau }}.} When two or more reservoirs are connected, the material can be regarded as cycling between the reservoirs, and there can be predictable patterns to the cyclic flow.

9. Photosynthesis system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis_System

   Photosynthesis systems function by measuring gas exchange of leaves. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is taken up by leaves in the process of photosynthesis, where CO 2 is used to generate sugars in a molecular pathway known as the Calvin cycle. This draw-down of CO 2 induces more atmospheric CO 2 to diffuse through stomata into the air spaces of the ...
