PHOTOSYNTHESIS

1.                  Photosynthesis

            The biochemical process through which light energy is absorbed by  chlorophyll
             to produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water.

2.            Light reaction

            The reaction which require the presence of light. Energy from sunlight is

            absorbed by chlorophyll and used to bring about the photolysis of water

           

3.         Dark reaction           

              The reaction cannot be sustained without ATP and hydrogen ion. During

            this reaction carbon dioxide is reduced to form carbohydrate.

           

4.         Photolysis of water   

            Light energy used to split water molecule to hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ion

           

5.         Limiting factor

            The factor that is  the furthest from its optimum level and is the one

            controlling the rate of the overall process

           

6.         Green houses

            The place to grow the plant under control light intensity, temperature and

            carbon dioxide
