ONE of the most important Biomolecules
USED as a catalyst in PHOTOSYNTHESIS
REMEMBER ~ Life on earth depends on CHLOROPHYLL !
CHLOROPHYLL is a simple molecule with Magnesium at its centre
HOW its electrons circulate round the molecule causes
LIGHT (red & blue) to be absorbed so it looks GREEN ~ This
ORCHESTRATES a chemical reaction between H2O and CO2 !
REACTION synthesises GLUCOSE (forms Starch & Cellulose) &
OXYGEN ! This maintains the atmospheric O2 / CO2 balance.
PROVIDES food for animal life ~ Animals can digest Cellulose !
HUMANS can only digest Starch ~ also plant & animal Protein
YOU & I are part of the Food Chains and Food Webs
LIVING by consuming PLANTS and ANIMALS ~ who
Live by consuming PLANTS ~ CHLOROPHYLL RULES ~ OK !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
The biosynthesis equation is:
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
This is fortuitous because Plants absorb CO2 and exude O2
Animals inhale O2 and exhale CO2 ! This is an example of
symbiosis between the Flora & Fauna which helps to maintain
the atmospheric CO2 / O2 equilibrium ~ save our Forests !
Photosynthesis is the first step to provide FOOD and propogate
LIFE on PLANET EARTH. If we replace Magnesium with Iron
(see the visual !) we get HEMOGLOBIN (which allows animals
to assimilate OXYGEN) and if you replace them with COBALT
you get VITAMIN B12 ! Biochemistry is a Divine Subject !

Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
A great Chlorophyll(ious) posting! Very informative! We definitely appreciate nature! Our bread and butter...in a manner of speaking! If we take good care of nature, nature will provide for us! Thank you for sharing!
Un Abbraccio e Baci...
~Laura~
GRAZIE LAURA ~ Mia Cara Amica ~ CHLOROPHYLL is a beautiful molecule and enables Plants to produce Polyglucose CELLULOSE for Animals and STARCH for MAN ~ AMEN I will do one on Hemoglobin tomorrow ! Baci e Abbracci ~ BRIAN ~ Il Uomo Verde XOXOX
Hi Brian! Dear old Gaia - she has it all figured out if only we would leave her alone........
As a SCIENTIST I love the GAIA Theory because it sees Planet Earth as a self regulating system. An example of this (as stated above !) is the symbiotic Flora & Fauna helping to maintain the CO2 / O2 RATIO in the Atmosphere. Anthropogenic (Human) activity puts constraints on the EARTH and GAIA fights back to restore equilibrium such as the rise in the average Earth Temperature from 15 to 16C (due to CO2 rise from 250 to 400 ppm) etc. The moral is \"Don\'t mess with GAIA" ~ Yours BRIAN
Yup - I keep waiting for her to spit us out.........
A fine write Brian. Well, no Joe Bloggs or any human could have created that lot!
Very interesting write, Brian! Your authors notes were intriguing! Thanks for sharing! Sister Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ~ you know a lot about BIOCHEMISTRY ! It's a BLOODY AWFUL Subject tomorrow ~ HAEMOGLOBIN ! Natural Hugs ~ HERMANO ~ BRIAN ~ Enjoyed your Poem ~ A classic CS Love Poem in Pole Position ! To get Pole I have to be up @ 5:30 am ~ B !
