Q

Photosynthesis is a process consisting of many reactions, two main pathways:

A

Light reactions: Convert light energy to chemical energy as ATP and NADPH.
IN THYLAKOID MEMBRANE

Light-independent reactions: Use ATP and NADPH (from the light reactions) plus CO2 to produce carbohydrates – does not use light directly
IN STROMA

Q

light is called PHOTONS

A

photosynthetic organisms absorb photons at specific wavelengths and harvest energy for biological processes.

When a photon is absorbed, molecule becomes more chemically reactive(then the light reactions start)

Q

photosynthesis absorb and reflect..

A

photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly

photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, mainly in thylakoid
