  2. Cold hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_hardening

    Plants that originated in the tropics, like tomato or maize, don't go through cold hardening and are unable to survive freezing temperatures. [3] The plant starts the adaptation by exposure to cold yet still not freezing temperatures. The process can be divided into three steps.

  3. Artificial photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_photosynthesis

    Catalysts for artificial photosynthesis are expected to effect turn over numbers in the millions. Catalysts often corrode in water, especially when irradiated. Thus, they may be less stable than photovoltaics over long periods of time. Hydrogen catalysts are very sensitive to oxygen, being inactivated or degraded in its presence; also ...

  4. Catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalysis

    Catalysis (/ k ə ˈ t æ l ə s ɪ s /) is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst [1] [2] (/ ˈ k æ t əl ɪ s t /). Catalysts are not consumed by the reaction and remain unchanged after it. [ 3 ]

  5. Biocatalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocatalysis

    Regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity: Due to their complex three-dimensional structure, enzymes may distinguish between functional groups which are chemically situated in different regions of the substrate molecule. Enantioselectivity: Since almost all enzymes are made from L-amino acids, enzymes are chiral catalysts. As a consequence, any ...

  6. Photosynthetic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

    The simpler C3 cycle which operates in most plants is adapted to wetter darker environments, such as many northern latitudes. [citation needed] Maize, sugar cane, and sorghum are C4 plants. These plants are economically important in part because of their relatively high photosynthetic efficiencies compared to many other crops. Pineapple is a ...

  7. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

    Many important crop plants are C 4 plants, including maize, sorghum, sugarcane, and millet. Plants that do not use PEP-carboxylase in carbon fixation are called C 3 plants because the primary carboxylation reaction, catalyzed by RuBisCO, produces the three-carbon 3-phosphoglyceric acids directly in the Calvin-Benson cycle.

  9. Industrial catalysts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_catalysts

    The disadvantage with a copper catalysts is that it is very sensitive when it comes to sulfide poisoning, a future use of for example a cobalt- molybdenum catalyst could solve this problem. The catalyst mainly used in the industry today is a copper - zinc - alumina (Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 ) based catalyst.
