ABSORPTION AND UTILIZATION OF RADIOACTIVE CARBON DIOXIDE BY SUNFLOWER LEAVES

The Absorption of Carbon Dioxide by Unilluminated Leaves.

In the process of photosynthesis as carried out by the higher plants, the leaf absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and transforms it into organic matter. This assimilation of carbon dioxide is accomplished through a number of intermediate steps and anly complete analysis of the mechanism of this process requires that the carboni be traced through these consecutive steps. Obviously the first ste...

des Sciences Math6matiques," tome 1, volume 1, page 601, it is added that J. Perott used the term sulerien groups for abelian groups in American Journal of Mathematics, 11, 99 (1889). This matter is somewhat complicated by the fact that C. Jordan used the term abelian group, with a somewhat different meaning from that now commonly assigned to it, in his widely used "Trait6 des substitutions" (1...

Experimental Investigation of Reactive Absorption of Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide by Carbonated Ammonia Solution

In this work, reactive absorption of gases in aqueous electrolyte solutions has been investigated resulting in the development of a procedure in order to calculate the concentrations of ionic and molecular species in the liquid phase. Two duplicate experiments were conducted to investigate simultaneous reactive absorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide in partially carbonated ammonia solutio...

Carbon Dioxide Diffusion inside Leaves

Leaves are beautifully specialized organs that enable plants to intercept light necessary for photosynthesis. The light is dispersed among a large array of chloroplasts that are in close proximity to air and yet not too far from vascular tissue, which supplies water and exports sugars and other metabolites. To control water loss from the leaf, gas exchange occurs through pores in the leaf surfa...
