   Extractions: Quick link to the Chapter Headings How Living Organisms Breathe - We breathe by ventilating our lungs regularly with fresh air. - Air is sucked into the lungs when the ribs rise and when the diaphragm falls. The air is pushed out when the ribs fall and the diaphragm rises. - The air we expire contains much more carbon dioxide and water vapour than the air we inspire. - The composition of the air changes in the millions of microscopic air sacs called alveoli which are found at the ends of the bronchial tree branches. - Oxygen is carried all over the body by the blood to the tissues where it is used in a process called respiration. - Respiration releases energy and produces carbon dioxide, a waste which must be eliminated from the body. - The more energy we need the more we respire. Therefore, we breathe faster and deeper to obtain more oxygen and excrete more carbon dioxide.

6. Arrangement Of Leaves And Heliotropism
   Form and photosynthesis in Vascular plants Why do plants have leaves? Early land plants had photosynthetic stems.  
   http://fig.cox.miami.edu/Faculty/Tom/bil160sp98/plantform/13_plantform.html
   
   Extractions: Early land plants had photosynthetic stems. The arrangement of those stems in space and their size and orientation were important determinants of how much photosynthetic activity each plant could generate. With the lycopods and bryophytes, we began to see specialized photosynthetic structures, leaves, develop. The gymnosperms were the first plants to have true leaves that were separate structures from the stem. have green stems for photosynthesis and even a few trees do a bit of photosynthesis in the trunk!) You might say "but many cacti are just photosynthetic hotdogs and they do just fine as hotdogs." Remember that the interior of cacti and other succulant plants is just water storage and requires little input of energy for metabolism. Also, cacti and similar plants usually live in areas of high incident sunlight. Energy input isn't a problem; water conservation is! Besides, look at a cactus carefully the barrel or columnar structures have ridges, which increase the photosynthetic surface area. In leafy plants, the arrangement of leaves and their orientation in space (how inclined they are, for example) are critical for the task of maximizing photosynthetic activity. If leaves overlap too much or are too closely spaced vertically, then there will be a lot of shading and the plant will not be as efficient in intercepting light rays and doing photosynthesis as it could. If the leaves are too far apart and don't "fill space", then there will be little photosynthetic activity because there won't be many leaves. If the leaves are very vertical in orientation, they won't intercept much light during midday. (But the amount might be enough in the intense midday sun.) But, if they are horizontal, they may get burnt by the intense light of the midday sun.

   Extractions: Chlorophyll Sunlight Water Carbon Dioxide PHOTOSYNTHESIS When you have finished this page, try the Photosynthesis Quiz. Photosynthesis is the making of food by plants. The essential ingredients in making this food are sunlight, the chlorophyll that is present in green plants, water and carbon dioxide in the air. Photosynthesis is necessary not just for plants to make food for themselves, but for animals, including us eventually. How does photosynthesis occur? Water is taken in through the roots of the plant and transported to the leaves by the xylem (tubes that carry water) in the stems. Carbon dioxide animals breathe out from the air goes into the leaves through the tiny pores called stomata and is spreads to the cells that contain chlorophyll in the inside layer of the leaf. Sunlight is used to break down the water in the plant into oxygen which the plant gives off and we use to breathe. The hydrogen is then used with the carbon dioxide to create the food for the plants and ultimately food for animals as well. Plants Main Page How Plants and Animals Differ Photosynthesis Algae ...

10. Oxygen: Toxin For Aquatic Plants?
    Does oxygen really obstruct photosynthesis? by Dr. Gerd Kassebeer  
    http://www.dupla.com/e042.htm
    
    Extractions: Are assimilation bubbles poisoning symptoms ? The most important reaction in nature is the transformation of light energy into chemical energy. Light energy water + carbon dioxide = carbohydrates + oxygen] During this process carbohydrates and oxygen are produced from carbon dioxide, water and light energy. The above formula may be a crude simplification of complex processes, it explains, however, that oxygen constitutes one of the end products and has to be disposed of by the plant in order not to interfere with the photosynthetic process (refer also to the following paragraph). Carbohydrates, for example, are sugar, starch and cellulose. It can be assumed that the metabolic rate of this competing chemical reaction will be no larger than 100% of the first equation's rate because the carbohydrates formed during photosynthesis would otherwise be consumed rapidly instead of re-entering circulation. Oxygen can not enter by diffusion because the partial pressure of O2 in the chloroplasts is considerably higher under light exposure than outside the plant. An equilibrium or balance between main and secondary reaction will develop. This equilibrium is mainly defined by the inflow of carbon dioxide, but also by the outflow of oxygen, whereas the input of oxygen may not play a role at all (see also below).

    http://www.emsb.qc.ca/laurenhill/science/nature.html
    
    Extractions: In chloroplasts plants use photosynthesis to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars and oxygen. The overall reaction is: n C O H O [C n H O n-1) n O (n+1) H O sucrose if n = 12, or starch if n = large The sequence of reactions leading up to the above overall reaction is complicated, but it would never happen on its own if the rate was not catalyzed by chlorophyll molecules. 2 H O + O Figure Chloroplast Note that the above reaction releases oxygen, which is why plants release O while growing. The reaction also concentrates H on one side of the membrane in those little green disks shown in Figure 1. That allows an energy carrying molecule, ATP, to be made, and the energy is invested in the production of sugars. Note, that after all is said and done, chlorophyll is available again to absorb more light, and to start the whole cycle again. True catalysts speed up reactions without being consumed.

    In a process called photosynthesis, plants capture energy using onlycarbon dioxide, water, and light to make a sugar called glucose.  
    http://www.world-builders.org/lessons/less/les4/photo.html
    
    Extractions: The earth is an almost closed system. By this we mean that everything that is here is recycled: the same molecules are used over and over again. Atoms do not wear out, but chemical changes require energy. Energy eventually gets transformed into heat and lost. Fortunately for us, the earth does receive energy from the sun, which comes into our closed system and makes life possible. Plants are the primary producers on earth. Plant cells contain chloroplasts, which work as tiny energy capturing factories. It is believed that chloroplasts were once independent prokaryote cells that moved into larger eukaryote cells long ago. Chloroplasts are tiny and green, and they contain chlorophyll. They reproduce themselves inside cells by simply dividing into two identical parts.
