The process of photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process occurs in plants and some microorganisms, and it is essential for the survival of most living organisms. Photosynthesis involves two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (also known as the Calvin cycle). During the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to split water molecules and produce ATP and NADPH. In the light-independent reactions, these energy-carrying molecules are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP) and release carbon dioxide and water as waste products. It occurs in three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. In glycolysis, glucose is broken down into pyruvate and a small amount of ATP is produced. The pyruvate then enters the citric acid cycle, where more ATP is produced along with CO2 and NADH. Finally, in oxidative phosphorylation, the NADH is used to produce a large amount of ATP.
DNA replication is the process by which cells make an exact copy of their genetic material. It is essential for the growth and reproduction of all living organisms. The process involves several steps, including unwinding and unzipping the double helix of DNA, adding complementary nucleotides to each strand, and joining the new nucleotides together with covalent bonds. This process is highly accurate, with an error rate of only one mistake per billion nucleotides added.
The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface. It involves several processes, including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. The sun's energy causes water to evaporate from bodies of water and land surfaces, forming water vapor in the atmosphere. As the air cools, the water vapor condenses into clouds and eventually falls back to the Earth's surface as precipitation. Some of this water is absorbed into the ground and becomes groundwater, while the rest runs off into streams and rivers, eventually making its way back to the oceans.
Mitosis is the process of cell division that allows for growth, development, and repair in multicellular organisms. It involves four main stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During prophase, the DNA condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear membrane breaks down. In metaphase, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. In anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers to opposite poles of the cell. Finally, in telophase, the nuclear membrane reforms around the separated chromosomes, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.
