Photosynthesis is a biological process that occurs in plants and other autotrophic organisms such as bacteria, algae, etc. In this process, organisms convert light energy to biochemical energy stored in the biomolecules like glucose and carbohydrates to utilize the energy…

Blackman gave the statement that ‘when a process is conditioned as to its rapidity by a number of separate factors, the rate of the process is limited by the pace of the slowest factor.’ This means that when any process is…

Light as Photosynthesis Limiting Factors Photosynthesis does not occur in the absence of light, hence there is no photosynthesis during night hours but only during day hours. There are three attributes of sunlight of importance in photosynthesis which includes intensity, quality, and…

Chloroplasts are the specialised intracellular organelle that performs photosynthesis in the daytime. The light-absorbing pigments called chlorophyll are present in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. Chlorophyll pigments are responsible for imparting green colours to the plant, algae, and other autotrophic microorganisms.…
