29+ Photosynthesis Contributes To Plant Growth By
Images. Photosynthesis is an endothermic process that takes part in the chloroplasts (found in leaf cells). Within chloroplasts is chlorophyll, a green pigment responsible for trapping light energy in order to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (chemical energy).
Tobacco plants that were genetically engineered to optimize photosynthesis outgrew their conventional relatives by up to 40 percent, according to a study in friday's edition of the journal science.
Taking in oxygen and making wood. The sun is the ultimate source of energy for virtually all organisms. This is because photosynthesis produces glucose which the plant uses as food. Arabidopsis ant controls plant growth and floral organogenesis.
