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.
Fasten your seat belt. It takes 4 electrons to convert one CO2 to carbohydrate (the final product of photosynthesis). We know that at least 2 photons of visible light are used to boost each electron to an energy level capable of reducing CO2. We also know (as you can see from your equation) that for each CO2 fixed the plant releases one O2.
