Photosynthesis

edit

In the Photosynthesis article, you said that including an extra six water molecules on each side of the equation was more accurate an equation than without. Could you explain this to me? I'm not protesting this; I'm just curious. DroEsperanto 01:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

It can be confusing. I remember in my high school textbooks when the older, "balanced" equation was used and taught. But as a biology major, I learned that in the Calvin Cycle of sugar synthesis, the six oxygen atoms that are liberated from the plant don't come from the carbon dioxide it "breathes", but actually comes from water molecules that the plant uses as a reactant in photosynthesis. Because each water molecule has only one oxygen atom, the plant will need twelve molecules to fully complete the cycle. Later on in photosynthesis, six water molecules are also products. This occurs during carbon fixation, in which the carbon dioxide is built together into a sugar molecule and hydrogen ions are used to turn reactive oxygen atoms that go flying off into useful water molecules that can be used again by the plant as soon as the cycle completes.
I hope this helps! Let me know.--Ryan! 05:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

hypocenter versus epicenter.

edit

The image of the Nagasaki memorial shows that it is on the hypocenter of the blast. Should this also be changed to epicenter? Just clarifying... CodeCarpenter 17:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good catch! Yes, it should be fixed. Ground zero can refer to the hypocenter, the place of the explosion, or the epicenter, the point on the surface of the planet closest to the hypocenter.--Ryan! 18:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Pages I would like you to look at

edit

Wikipedia is strictly buisness (mostly) so I am sending you this message for Wikipages in need.

Plain White T's needs a lot of help. It is a sketchy article.

8- inch floppy disc also needs help. There were a few notes that floppy disk was too long so I made a new article from part of that one.
