  2. Chlorine production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_production

    Chlorine can be manufactured by the electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution , which is known as the Chloralkali process. The production of chlorine results in the co-products caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H 2). These two products, as well as chlorine itself, are highly reactive.

  3. Chlororespiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlororespiration

    Photosynthesis is also a process that Chlororespiration interacts with. [2] If photosynthesis is inhibited by environmental stressors like water deficit, increased heat, and/or increased/decreased light exposure, or even chilling stress then chlororespiration is one of the crucial ways that plants use to compensate for chemical energy synthesis.

  4. Chloralkali process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

    The diaphragm cell process and the mercury cell process have been used for over 100 years but are environmentally unfriendly through their use of asbestos and mercury, respectively. The membrane cell process , which was only developed in the past 60 years, is a superior method with its improved energy efficiency and lack of harmful chemicals.

  5. Chlorine cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_cycle

    Chlorine's ability to completely dissociate in water is also why it is an essential electrolyte in many biological processes. [6] Chlorine, along with phosphorus, is the sixth most common element in organic matter. [1] Cells utilize chloride to balance pH and maintain turgor pressure at equilibrium.

  6. Light-dependent reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dependent_reactions

    In cyclic photophosphorylation, cytochrome b 6 f uses electrons and energy from PSI to create more ATP and to stop the production of NADPH. Cyclic phosphorylation is important to create ATP and maintain NADPH in the right proportion for the light-independent reactions. The net-reaction of all light-dependent reactions in oxygenic photosynthesis ...

  7. Photosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem

    Oxygenic photosynthesis can be performed by plants and cyanobacteria; cyanobacteria are believed to be the progenitors of the photosystem-containing chloroplasts of eukaryotes. Photosynthetic bacteria that cannot produce oxygen have only one photosystem, which is similar to either PSI or PSII .

  8. Ecosystem respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem_respiration

    Cellular respiration happens when a cell takes glucose and oxygen and uses it to produce carbon dioxide, energy, and water. This transaction is important not only for the benefit of the cells, but for the carbon dioxide output provided, which is key in the process of photosynthesis. Without respiration, actions necessary to life, such as ...

  9. Photophosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photophosphorylation

    So, in the presence of light, synthesis of food is called 'photosynthesis'. Noncyclic photophosphorylation through light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane. In the process of photosynthesis, the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP using the energy of sunlight is called photophosphorylation. Cyclic ...
