photosynthesis 3.3 Flashcards
what is stage one in photosynthesis
light reactions
what happens in light reaction stage
ligfht energy is trapped by chlorophyll and turned into chemical energy, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. hydrogen moves to stage 2 and oxygen diffuses out of the cell..
what happens in carbon fixation
a series of enzyme controlled reactions, which combine hydrogen and ATP with carbon to produce sugar.
what are the 3 fates of sugar
respiration, storage in the form of starch and structural in the form of cellulose
what are the 3 limiting factors of photosynthesis
light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature
