Hcs465 - Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, and some bacteria use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the fuel used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthesis process uses water and releases the O2 that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes we need the food as well.
Hcs 465 - Photosynthesis is used by plants to harness solar energy. A semiconductor-based solar cell harnesses solar energy to convert it to electricity required by humans.
Bio101 - Photosynthesis by definition, is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. This is a remarkable process that occurs naturally and is one that is required for all living things to sustain existence on this plant. The efficiency of this process has sparked inventions, such as the semiconductor based solar system cell that would allow humans to produce energy in a way that is very similar to that of a plant’s photosynthesis process.
Bio 101 - The primary comparison amongst photosynthesis and semiconductor based solar cells is that they require solar energy, or sunlight, to begin the processes. In photosynthesis plants use chlorophyll, that often found in green leaves to absorb solar energy from the sun. Likewise, a semiconductor based solar cell utilizes photovoltaie panels very similar to a plants leaves to absorb sunlight. The manner in which light is converted in both photosynthesis and a semiconductor based solar cell is also very similar. The plants use solar energy from the sun, water absorbed in from the plant’s roots and carbon dioxide from the air to produce glucose, the chemical energy or food that the plants need to survive, and oxygen that is then released into atmosphere.
