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.
Photosynthesis is the plant process where light energy is used to generate the production of ATP. The ATP so formed is used to form the bonds between carbon dioxide molecules and hydrogen atoms released from water by the light energy. The process forms sugar (glucose) molecules and produces oxygen as a waste product. At a glance, the equations: sugar + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + ATP energy (cellular respiration) and carbon dioxide + water + sun's energy --> sugar + oxygen (photosynthesis) look to be the reverse of each other.
