Tabla de Contenidos:
- 1 A leaf cell consists of several metabolic compartments; 2 The use of energy from sunlight by photosynthesis is the basis of life on earth; 3 Photosynthesis is an electron transport process; 4 ATP is generated by photosynthesis; 5 Mitochondria are the power station of the cell; 6 The Calvin cycle catalyzes photosynthetic CO2 assimilation; 7 In the photorespiratory pathway phosphoglycolate formed by the oxygenase activity of RubisCo is recycled; 8 Photosynthesis implies the consumption of water; 9 Polysaccharides are storage and transport forms of carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis.
- 10 Nitrate assimilation is essential for the synthesis of organic matter11 Nitrogen fixation enables the nitrogen in the air to be used for plant growth; 12 Sulfate assimilation enables the synthesis of sulfur-containing substances; 13 Phloem transport distributes photoassimilates to the various sites of consumption and storage; 14 Products of nitrate assimilation are deposited in plants as storage proteins; 15.
