Splitting of water into oxygen and hydrogen.
Provides hydrogen and ATP needed for stage 2.
Oxygen is released by diffusion into the air as a by-product.

Question 4

What is the Carbon Fixation Stage?

Answer 4

Carbon Fixation occurs in the chloroplast.
The temperature-dependent stage does not need light.
Powered by ATP made in stage 1.
Hydrogen from stage 1 combines with CO2 to form glucose.

Question 5

How is the use of Glucose used?

Answer 5

Used in Respiration (use chemical energy yo make ATP).
Converted into larger carbohydrate molecules.
