Why aquatic plants have a higher rate of photosyntheisis than the terrestrial plants?

Plants produce carbohydrates from water and CO2 in presence of chlorophyll and sunlight through photosynthesis. CO2 plays a very important role in this biological event. Rate of photosynthesis by plants is directly proportional to the amount of up taken CO2. The concentration of CO2 is greater in water (0.03%) than the concentration in air (0.03%). … Read more

What do you understand by biological currency?

Every organism undergoes bunches of physicochemical reactions in order to survive. There are some complex molecules present within the organisms, which can store energy and provide that when energy is demanded by organism itself. For example – ATP, GTP, NAD, NADP, FADH2 etc. Usually ATP stores the highest amount of energy within it and serves … Read more

What is phosphorylation?

What is phosphorylation? When one or more than one phosphorus / phosphoric acid forms a bond with adenosine generated from the bond between a nitrogenous base and a pentose sugar Adenosine Monophosphate, Diphosphate, and Triphosphate are created. Usually, this phosphate addition reaction does not require external energy input and is widely known as phosphorylation. Phosphorylation … Read more
