POEM ABOUT PHOTOSYNTHESIS BY: JOHN LUIGI S. PARAISO/ II- CATTLEYA

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Plants are able to
Use light energy from the
Sun to make its food

Adenosine Tri-
Phosphate is energy source
It provides movement

Plants use light power
To change water, CO
To oxygen, carbs

Plants gather sun’s power
With light-absorbing pigments
The chief, chlorophyll


Plants are green because
Green does not absorb light well
Plants have carotene

Chloroplasts contain
Photosynthetic membranes
We call thylakoids


Thylakoids can stack
And then are know as grana
Singular: granum

Grana have clusters
Of chlorophyll and pigments
And photosystems

The light-dependent
Reactions take place in the
Thylakoid membranes

Stroma’s in the place
Outside thylakoid membranes
Works Calvin cycle

POEM on PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Provides basic source of energy,
organisms depend on this virtually,
in making food this is a need,
known as photosynthesis indeed.

one of the most important biochemical processes,
usually occurs in plant leaves and stems,
a structure in the cells known as chloroplast,
this is where photosynthesis ends and starts.

it is a very complex process,
so biologists divide it into two stages,
this is for our own convenience,
and make our understanding ease.

first is the light-dependent reaction,
light energy becomes chemical energy through conversion,
second is the light-independent reaction,
where molecules help in glucose formation.

"-POEM about CELL-"

Regarded as the primary unit of life,
known to be capable of basic processes of life,
proven to be the tiniest structures,
which all living organisms are composed.

basically, this can't be seen by the naked eye,
but fortunately, there's a microscope we can rely,
even though its very small,still it is important to us all.

shapes of this vary considerably,
maybe to show that they function differently,
some are slipper-shaped; others resemble rods,
some are elongated; while few change shape as they move around.

a model of independence and self-containment,
displays remarkable ability to communicate with other segment,
has a membrane-bound compartment known as organelle,
scientifically introduced to us as cell.

Cell Photosynthesis by Rochel B. Inguito II - Cattleya

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well!

Plants are the only photosynthetic organisms to have leaves (and not all plants have leaves). A leaf may be viewed as a solar collector crammed full of photosynthetic cells.

Plants have a pigment this part is very important to absorb light in the process of photosynthesis. A pigment is any substance that absorbs light. The color of the pigment comes from the wavelengths of light reflected (in other words, those not absorbed). Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes. Black pigments absorb all of the wavelengths that strike them. White pigments/lighter colors reflect all or almost all of the energy striking them. Pigments have their own characteristic absorption spectra, the absorption pattern of a given pigment.

Chlorophyll is a complex molecule. Several modifications of chlorophyll occur among plants and other photosynthetic organisms. All photosynthetic organisms (plants, certain protistans, prochlorobacteria, and cyanobacteria) have chlorophyll a. Accessory pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb. Accessory pigments include chlorophyll b (also c, d, and e in algae and protistans), xanthophylls, and carotenoids (such as beta-carotene). Chlorophyll a absorbs its energy from the Violet-Blue and Reddish orange-Red wavelengths, and little from the intermediate (Green-Yellow-Orange) wavelengths.

Cell

The décor: a gloss of vomit - yellow and pastel greenSpattered with white: blobs of toothpasteFixture for mirrorsReflecting vomit - yellow and pastel greenSpattered with down of a young thing and bristles of a lagAnd little nicks from overused razorsBeds bunked to separate the veteran from the newcomerThe parvenu from the apprentice upstartAnd a TV continuously downloads information that is stored(Along with the yellow, the green, the white; that merge to grey) The news, the soaps, the made-for-TV matinée, morph into a continuous scriptAs the room becomes a non-reflective mirrorFor the sophoric existence of its occupantsAnd colours, behind lowered eyelids, are vomit-yellow and pastel green.

Photosynthesis
When I was little and walked through the tunnel
I was hearing the chains of the safety locks smash crash
I was propping against parallel doors
On the shoulder of a range of rebel convergent images
I was longing for my father
To tell me how thy were lassoing thegirl on the wast land
You stranger how are you he was shouting like a hulligan
We'll make a knot in my dress not to forget you
Im combining to belong to wonders
I was tentavively posing
Coming on earth one evening
He took me by the wing whine learning the frst steps on the carpet
Evry year he was comparing me to me on controversial pillar
He was nothing it to see me how much i have grown up
And took another instant photograph
I was wearing the same dress on eah anniversary
At frst too large
A black and white dress printed with mild stawberries
Cut out by the some magic one winter
And it became smaller and smaller
I was smiling in the same way when I was seven-fourtheen
He kept silent when I was twenty
Even when I was pregnant my father loved me.
Cell
Well,here I am
I' back in Hell
I've visited my padded cell
The one that used to hide my eyes,
Yes,evrytime I tried to cry
Who made my laughter slowly fade?
Was it the demon nurse's aide?
Throughout the walls,a hidden test
Screaming victims put to rest
They fill them up with mophine drinks
Even gave me some I think
So I'd forget all of my yesterdays
And put behind me all they did today.

Cell

Well,here I am
Im back in Hell
I've visited my padded cell
The one that used to hide my eyes
Yes,everytime I tried to cry
Who made my laughter slowly fade?
Was it the demmon nurse's aide?
Throughout the walls,a hidden test
Screaming victims put to rest
They fill them up with morphine drinks
Even gave me some,I think
So I'd forget all of my yesterdays
And put behind me all they did today.
