  2. Economic model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_model

    An economic model is a theoretical construct representing economic processes by a set of variables and a set of logical and/or quantitative relationships between them. The economic model is a simplified, often mathematical , framework designed to illustrate complex processes.

  3. Energy flow (ecology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_flow_(ecology)

    The first step in energetics is photosynthesis, where in water and carbon dioxide from the air are taken in with energy from the sun, and are converted into oxygen and glucose. [7] Cellular respiration is the reverse reaction, wherein oxygen and sugar are taken in and release energy as they are converted back into carbon dioxide and water.

  4. Photosystem II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_II

    The first structural model of the oxygen-evolving complex was solved using X-ray crystallography from frozen protein crystals with a resolution of 3.8Å in 2001. [7] Over the next years the resolution of the model was gradually increased to 2.9Å.

  5. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

    The leaf is the primary site of photosynthesis in plants. There are four main factors influencing photosynthesis and several corollary factors. The four main are: [112] Light irradiance and wavelength; Water absorption; Carbon dioxide concentration; Temperature. Total photosynthesis is limited by a range of environmental factors.

  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. Robinson Crusoe economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe_economy

    A Robinson Crusoe economy is a simple framework used to study some fundamental issues in economics. [1] It assumes an economy with one consumer, one producer and two goods. The title " Robinson Crusoe " is a reference to the 1719 novel of the same name authored by Daniel Defoe .

  8. Circular flow of income - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_flow_of_income

    The three-sector model adds the government sector to the two-sector model. [17] [18] Thus, the three-sector model includes (1) households, (2) firms, and (3) government. It excludes the financial sector and the foreign sector. The government sector consists of the economic activities of local, state and federal governments.

  9. Heterotroph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterotroph

    Both types of organisms use such compounds via cellular respiration to both generate ATP and again form CO 2 and water (two red arrows). A heterotroph ( / ˈ h ɛ t ər ə ˌ t r oʊ f , - ˌ t r ɒ f / ; [ 1 ] [ 2 ] from Ancient Greek ἕτερος ( héteros ) 'other' and τροφή ( trophḗ ) 'nutrition') is an organism that cannot produce ...
