Photosynthesis

Question 1

Explain the process of a light-dependent reaction

Answer 1

sunlight is absorbed into chloroplasts, exciting electrons. Water molecules bind and enzymes break water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The excited electrons travel across the membrane. Another enzyme pumps H ions across the membrane. ATP synthase and uses potential energy to create ATP.

Question 2

Where does light-dependent reaction occur?

Answer 2

Grana

Question 3

Explain the process of the light-independent reaction

Answer 3

Products from light-dependent reaction produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide. the enzyme RuBisCo fixes carbon dioxide to protein RuBP. Carbon dioxide is released as water, thus reaction begins

Question 4

Where does light-independent reaction occur?

Answer 4

Stroma

Question 5

What is the equation of photosynthesis

Answer 5

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
