photosynthesis

Question 1

overall balanced equation

Answer 1

6CO2 + 6H2O –> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 2

calvin cycle

3

Answer 2

• 3 phases:
  Carbon Fixation
  Reduction Reactions
  RuBP Regeneration
• This part is the actual “synthesis” part of photosynthesis, where CO2 is converted into sugar by a series of 11 enzyme-catalyzed reactions in the stroma of chloroplasts
• Endergonic process that uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis

Question 3

photorespiration

Answer 3

is an unfavorable process which decreases the production of sugars by
Photosynthesis.
