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.
Photosynthesis is the process that plants undergo in order to transform solar energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of sugar molecules. The overall process of photosynthesis is typically represented by the following equation: 6 CO2 + 6 H20 + sunlight ------------> C6H12O6 + 6 O2. Plant leaves contain small pores termed stomata that serve to regulate the entrance and exit of carbon dioxide, oxygen and water. In short, through the process of photosynthesis CO2 and H20 form new bonds, generating glucose (C6H12O6), releasing oxygen during the process. The end result of photosynthesis is glucose, which serves to store some of the potential energy originally present in the sun.
