ADP is energy in me, that's converted to ATP in cellular respiration.
The energy used to help me function comes from the sun, in the form of solar energy. 🌞🌞
The light reactions take place on the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.
Chloroplast: Where photosynthesis takes place.
I am an anaerobic process, which means I don't need oxygen to function.
Calvin Cycle: occurs in stoma, chemical energy (ATP &NADPH) from the light reactions is stored in glucose. Requires: CO2, ATP & NADPH.
Light reactions: occurs in thylakoids, light to chemical energies. Water, ADP+P, NAPDH+ and H+ are required. Oxygen is the only true product
2 steps of photosynthesis: 1. Light reaction 2. Calvin cycle
Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light, and it reflects green.
Stomas are a pore in the leafs surface where gas and H2O exchange. They open and close by guards cells filling with H2O.
Chlorophyll contains the pigment which gives chloroplasts their green color.
I'm performed by all plants, autotrophs, and some bacteria.
autotrophs: organisms capable of making their own food.
Without me, life would not exist. We would have no oxygen, and too much carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
