Stoichiometric equations are used to represent growth of microorganisms provided a ' molecular formula' for the cells is available. The molecular formula for biomass is obtained by measuring the amounts of C, N, H, O and other elements in cells. For a particular bacterial strain, the molecular formula was determined to be C4.4H7.30 1.2N0.86 . These bacteria are grown under aerobic conditions with hexadecane (C16H34) as substrate. The reaction equation describing growth is:

The rate of photosynthesis when red and far-red light are given together is greater than the sum of the rates when they are given apart, the effect provided essential

evidence in favor of the concept that photosynthesis is carried out by two photochemical systems working in tandem but with slightly different wavelength optima

this effect is known as
