In discussion, we analyzed the initial and final states of a toy model of photosynthesis: the reaction co2 + h2o ↔ h2co + o2.

the binding of the carbon in the organic molecule (formaldehyde) has effectively traded a strong c=o double bond for a weaker o=o double bond, so the reaction is endothermic from left to right. (the right side has a higher chemical energy so you have to put energy in to get there.)

although that tells the overall result, the actual mechanism of photosynthesis is more complicated. discovering how this works is one of the great stories of figuring out what is happening in a complex biological process.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)
