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.
The process of photosynthesis, which converts solar energy into chemical energy, takes place in the chloroplasts and through the use of chlorophyll. The resulting chemical energy is stored as sugar in the plantsâ leaves. The process of photosynthesis require only light energy, carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar.
