A. UNDERSTANDING PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis is the process of making high-energy food molecules from simpler components, performed by autotrof plants (plants that can make a meal in itself). Photosynthesis is derived from the photons, which means "light" and synthesis, which means "constituent", so photosynthesis is also defined by the biochemical processes undertaken by plants to produce energy (nutrients) by utilizing light energy. The leaves are the main components in plants that play a role in photosynthesis This, the leaves are chlorophyll (the green substance), well this is what will chlorophyll absorbs solar energy that can be harnessed to produce energy (nutrition). Article Supporting structures Network danFungsi Plant Photosynthesis very important role for all organic life on earth. Because in addition to producing energy, photosynthesis process will also produce oxygen for human life and other living creatures. Article Supporting: Differences SelHewan and Plant Cells B. PHOTOSYNTHESIS FUNCTION The main function of photosynthesis is to produce glucose as the main energy source for the plant, in the presence of glucose will be formed energy sources of fat and protein as well. Well these substances will be a source of food for humans and animals, therefore the process of photosynthesis is very important in our lives. Prose Photosynthesis can clear the air. The air cleaned by absorbed carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. So often we hear the planting of trees to clean up the environment, because there is this process of photosynthesis of trees can be useful to clean up our air. The ability of photosynthesis of plants in his lifetime would make the rest of the rest of the plant is buried in the ground. Heaps of plants for a long time will make it a coal which is the raw material and energy source in modern life. C. PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS Before starting the description, please note the chart below first. Based on the chart it is briefly the process of photosynthesis can be explained as follows: In the process of photosynthesis there are four ingredients that must be held, namely: Karbondikoksida (CO2) Air Sunshine Chlorophyll Karbondikosida be taken by Stomata (mouth leaves) on the leaves of plants from the air, then the water is taken through plant roots and transported carrier components in plants, then sunlight will be taken in the form of energy by chlorophyll (the green substance). All this process will take place to form a reaction and produce oxygen and glucose. Once the glucose contained in plants, these nutrients are converted into fat, protein, and other nutrients. So the reaction of photosynthesis is very complex, but in short reaction takes place as we have explained. D. STAGES OF REACTION PHOTOSYNTHESIS The process of photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts consists of two reactions, namely the light reaction and a dark reaction. 1. Light reaction said light reaction because the reaction process requires sunlight. This reaction occurs in one of the empty space on the so-called thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In the light reaction, chlorophyll absorbs light from the sun, the energy gained from solar light will be used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. This reaction is called photolysis, and can be described by the following reaction. 2. Dark reaction As the name implies Dark reaction is a reaction that is not dependent on light. The core of the dark reactions is the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into glucose. This dark reactions occur in the chloroplast stroma. Dark reaction will occur only after the light reaction and a dark reaction process is very complex, because the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) E.FAKTOR FACTORS AFFECTING PHOTOSYNTHESIS 1. Internal factors Faktror internal factor is derived from the plant itself. That is, each of a different plant species, although living under the same environment will be different reaction of photosynthesis, we can say internal factors are heredity (ancestry). In some species, there can not form chlorophyll (albino) so it will be very Raksi effect on photosynthesis. 2. External factors a. Water and mineral content of the soil As we have explained earlier companions, water is one of the raw materials used for the photosynthesis reaction so more and more water in the soil, the better the reaction. Because Photosynthesis is very dependent on the absorption of water by the plant roots. B. Temperatures Photosynthesis is a reaction that depends on the enzyme, while the enzyme is affected by temperature. Enzymes can not work at temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius diatar, if the temperature does not match the photosynthesis will not occur. The best temperature for photosynthesis is between 28-30 degrees Celsius. C. CO2 content in the air CO2 content in the air around 0:03 percent, more CO2 will get better reactions that occur. D. The content of O2 Low O2 content in the air and in the soil will inhibit plant respiration. Remdajmua respiration will also inhibit the formation of energy by the plants.
