Standard Thermodynamic Properties, Biosynthesis Rates, and the Driving Force of Growth of Five Agricultural Plants
Marko Popovic, Mirjana Minceva
Abstract
Graphical Abstract Intercepted photosynthetic energy q is partly converted into usable photosynthetic energy, Δ ps G , with an efficiency μ . A part of Δ ps G is used for biosynthesis Δ bs G , which is represented by the growth reaction in the bottom, where “Bio” denotes newly formed live matter. The remaining energy is the driving force of growth, Δ DF G , used to make growth at a desired rate.
