Photosynthetic Carbon Metabolism
نویسنده
چکیده
Photosynthetic carbon metabolism encompasses the processes by which plants and other photosynthetic organisms use the energy captured from light in the form of NADPH and ATP to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. Carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis form the base for the nutrition of all other life as well as serving as the starting materials for fibres, oils and many other natural compounds used by people.

Carbon Metabolic Pathways in Phototrophic Bacteria and Their Broader Evolutionary Implications
Photosynthesis is the biological process that converts solar energy to biomass, bio-products, and biofuel. It is the only major natural solar energy storage mechanism on Earth. To satisfy the increased demand for sustainable energy sources and identify the mechanism of photosynthetic carbon assimilation, which is one of the bottlenecks in photosynthesis, it is essential to understand the proces...
متن کاملOptimizing the distribution of resources between enzymes of carbon metabolism can dramatically increase photosynthetic rate: a numerical simulation using an evolutionary algorithm.
The distribution of resources between enzymes of photosynthetic carbon metabolism might be assumed to have been optimized by natural selection. However, natural selection for survival and fecundity does not necessarily select for maximal photosynthetic productivity. Further, the concentration of a key substrate, atmospheric CO(2), has changed more over the past 100 years than the past 25 millio...

Photosynthesis is the process to convert solar energy to biomass and biofuels, which are the only major solar energy storage means on Earth. To satisfy the increased demand for sustainable energy sources, it is essential to understand the process of solar energy storage, that is, the carbon metabolism in photosynthetic organisms. It has been well-recognized that one bottleneck of photosynthesis...
متن کاملEffects of carbon dioxide and oxygen on the regulation of photosynthetic carbon metabolism by ammonia in spinach mesophyll cells.
Photosynthetic carbon metabolism of isolated spinach mesophyll cells was characterized under conditions favoring photorespiratory (PR; 0.04% CO(2) and 20% O(2)) and nonphotorespiratory (NPR; 0.2% CO(2) and 2% O(2)) metabolism, as well as intermediate conditions. Comparisons were made between the metabolic effects of extracellularly supplied NH(4) (+) and intracellular NH(4) (+), produced primar...
متن کاملPopulation-Level Variation in Photosynthetic Metabolism and Growth in Sedum Wrightii
Four populations of Sedurn wrightii were studied with respect to their photosynthetic carbon metabolism. This leaf-succulent species exhibits crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). Plants that possess CAM have the potential to vary their rates of transpirational water loss greatly in response to drought. Leaf thickness and biomass 6I3C values were measured in mid growing season for the populations...
