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.
Plants absorb energy only from the red and blue ends of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. They reflect the unused green light to our eyes. Plants use visible light (400 nm to 700 nm) for growth and photosynthesis. The wavelength of red light is about 650 nm. Green light has a wavelength of about 510 nm, and the wavelength of blue light is about 475 nm. Photosynthesis depends on on the absorption of light by pigments in the leaves of plants.
