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, as well as some bacteria and protists, perform photosynthesis, or a process that converts energy from sunlight into food. No eating is required to get the energy they need for the day - just a healthy dose of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water! The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 (or carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (or water) yields C6H12O6 (which is glucose) + 6O2 (or oxygen). Chemical equation for photosynthesis If you've already learned about cellular respiration, or the process that converts food into chemical energy, then this formula should look pretty familiar to you.
