Chapter 44, Problem 6TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The procedure by which green plants and other organisms make food in the existence or presence of chlorophyll and sunlight is called photosynthesis. The process needs water and carbon dioxide. The oxygen gas release which comes from water in this process. This is important because all living organisms need oxygen gas to survive. A plant breathes carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen which keeps humans and animals alive on earth. The major source of oxygen is plant.
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

What is your opinion/stance on biofuels as an alternative energy source?
please let it be proper and detailed
Ethanol from sugarcane has a medium net energy yield, while ethanol
from corn has a low net energy yield. Why might this be the case?
The energy input for growing corn is lower than that for sugarcane.
The energy input for growing sugarcane is lower than that for corn.
The EROI for corn ethanol is higher than that for sugarcane.
The net energy ratio of corn ethanol is negative.
Corn ethanol is not a renewable energy source.
The figure below an apparatus for measuring net photosynthesis by measuring the change in CO2
concentrations when a leaf is put into an illuminated chamber. Why might you also measure the
change in CO₂ concentration in the dark? Is this statement correct, incorrect or irrelevant answer to
the question.
Measuring photosynthesis through a decrease in CO2 (CO2 uptake by the plant) over a short time in the
light can help one create an estimate of gross primary productivity. In order to estimate net primary
activity one needs to measure the decrease in CO2 in the chamber in the dark to estimate energy loss
through respiration
