4.1 Ear anatomy. The ear can be seen as three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear - each with a dedicated function. The outer ear consists of the ear shell (pinna) and the auditory canal. Its function is to guide air pressure waves to the middle ear- with the ear shell increasing the sensitivity of the ear to the front side of the head, supporting front/rear localisation of audio signals.
Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH. During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to capture and reduce carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy. There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis.
