What can we learn ?'

1. That plants require a specific temperature range for growth as the video shows Charlie
   being 'depressed' and wilting due to the seasonal change to winter.During winter in
   either hemisphere, the lower altitude of the Sun in winter causes the sunlight to hit
   that hemisphere at an oblique angle.Light have to travel a longer distance over the atmosphere.Thus,plants receive less sunlight in winter.
2. Seeds don't make their own food! So where do they get it? At first the seed gets its food from the cotyledons which are the store house of many nutrients from what I understand. It uses these to grow the first leaves and from there on it makes its own food by photosynthesizing.
   OR
3. A seedling gets food from stored areas of adults plants like roots, stems and leaves. This "food packet" is called an endosperm in flowering plants. However some plants, such as some orchid seeds are so small that they include no endosperm This is different in gymnosperms, but the overall principle is the same, the parent plant provides the seed with nutrition so yay.

RE: The science inquest's comment

Reason:
You could even use gene doping to inject epithelial tissues in skin with a viral chloroplast gene, they can already do it with mitochondria in muscle tissue, which is awesome, so why not do it and become independent beings that photosynthesize without consuming food.

Carbon dioxide in the blood stream would be converted into sugars and oxygen in the skin cells, sugars and oxygen would be used in body tissues for respiration, producing carbon dioxide.


-------------------------------
1. Normal cells Metabolize Sugar and Oxygen to produce energy, and Carbon Dioxide.

C6H12O6 + 6O<2> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)

(sugar + oxygen ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ENERGY)

-------------------------------

2. Chloroplasts in plants produce Sugar and Oxygen, using Carbon Dioxide and water (in the presence of sunlight)

6CO2 + 12H2O + sunlight -> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2

(carbon dioxide + water + sunlight----> Sugar + water + Oxygen.

--------------------------------

3. The Equations sort of cancel out,(depending on the number of respiring cells Vs number of photosynthesizing cells) the person would have very minimal food requirements. Possibly limited oxygen requirements (great for diving).

6CO2 + 12H2O + sunlight ----> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (ATP)

Which essentially balances, Humans could become solar powered

THEORIES

wilber: photosynthesis & respiration are both a continuous process on the world,due to the earth revolving around the sun.

tongchen: photosynthesis & respiration are both continuous processes

shuqi: respiration is dependent on photosynthesis

glenn: no respiration = no photosynthesis

rena: respiration helps in photosynthesis

FINAL group theory: Respiration & Photosynthesis are dependent on each other,without
one of the process there would not be another,ceasing the balance.

Questions!

1. Why study photosynthesis?

rep: So that we can understand it and and possibly use its function in the next generation if plants ever extinct.To shed light on 'use its function in the next generation' it means manipulate it and injecting our embryo with chlorophyll changing DNA and changing its DNA while it is growing would not cause too much side effects.So that we can also know its importance, significance in lowering global warming and not waste tons of paper and cut tons of forest and the role it plays in our everyday life for our survival as humankind. Lastly,but inevitably, to pass our biology/chemistry exams o.o

2. What is the importance of photosynthesis?

rep: Without this important process, the levels of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases would increase and we would eventually run out of oxygen and die out. Also, if plants ever photosynthesize, how would they attain food?

3. How will photosynthesis affect us?

rep: As mentioned,without photosynthesis,carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases would rapidly increase,we would soon run out of oxygen.Without oxygen we cannot function as oxygen is used to create energy.We would be frozen stiff and fall to the ground and stop moving and in the end die.If plants also didn't photosynthesize to get food, then all green plants would die. And we wouldn't have to eat our green veggies ever again!

Do comment on our theories/ans or whatever.If you disagree,comments down below,link it and post constructive criticism.Don't troll,flame and hate.
