What's the difference between photosynthesis / chemosynthesis / carbon fixation / photophosphorylation / Calvin cycle / primary production

🇬🇧English
photosynthesis

Same term — the biological process by which plants and some organisms convert light into chemical energy (photosynthesis).

B1Very Often

Photosynthesis allows plants to produce sugars from sunlight.

Фотосинтез позволяет растениям образовывать сахара из солнечного света.

C
🇬🇧English
chemosynthesis

Similar function (production of organic compounds) but uses chemical energy rather than light; found in some bacteria in extreme environments.

C1Rarely

Deep-sea vent communities rely on chemosynthesis for organic matter production.

Сообщества у глубоководных гидротермальных источников зависят от хемосинтеза для образования органики.

C
🇬🇧English
carbon fixation

A part of photosynthesis — the conversion of inorganic carbon (CO2) into organic compounds; does not denote the whole process.

B2Rarely

Rubisco is a key enzyme in carbon fixation during photosynthesis.

Рубиско — ключевой фермент карбоксилирования углерода при фотосинтезе.

P
🇬🇧English
photophosphorylation

A specific stage of photosynthesis — the synthesis of ATP using light energy; a component of the overall process.

C1Rarely

Photophosphorylation in chloroplasts generates ATP during the light reactions.

Фотофосфорилирование в хлоропластах вырабатывает АТФ в световых реакциях.

C
🇬🇧English
Calvin cycle

A specific biochemical cycle in the dark reactions of photosynthesis where carbon is fixed and sugars are produced.

C1Rarely

The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH to fix CO2 into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

Цикл Кальвина использует АТФ и НАДФН для фиксации CO2 в глицеральдегид-3-фосфат.

P
🇬🇧English
primary production

A broader ecological term — the total production of organic matter in an ecosystem; includes photosynthesis and sometimes chemosynthesis.

B2Rarely

Primary production in the ocean is largely driven by phytoplankton photosynthesis.

Первичное производство в океане в основном обеспечивается фотосинтезом фитопланктона.

A
🇬🇧English
autotrophy

A property of an organism — the ability to synthesize organic compounds from inorganic sources; photosynthesis is one mode of autotrophy.

B2Rarely

Many plants are autotrophs because they perform photosynthesis.

Многие растения автотрофны, потому что они осуществляют фотосинтез.
