Morning glory (also written as morning-glory) is the common name for over 1,000 species of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae, whose current taxonomy and systematics are in flux. Morning glory species belong to many genera, some of which are: 1  Calystegia.
Today, the average rate of energy capture by photosynthesis globally is approximately 130 terawatts, which is about three times the current power consumption of human civilization. Photosynthetic organisms also convert around 100â115 thousand million metric tonnes of carbon into biomass per year.
Introduction. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use the energy in sunlight to synthesize material from air and water for growth. In this process violet light is absorbed by chlorophyll, the energy obtained splits water, and oxygen gas is given off by the reaction. 2H 2 O(l) = hydrogen + O 2 (g). The hydrogen remains in the leaf and participates in further reactions. The experiment described here is designed to show that sunlight causes green leaves to produce oxygen.
