Best Answer

The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.

When does photosynthesis happen night or day?

Most types of photosynthesis (C3 & C4) occur only during the day, however plants that use CAM photosynthesis open their stomata during the night to take in the gases essential for photosynthesis withoug losing the water in the cells. They then use the CO2 to produce glucose throughout the day.


Where does photosynthesis happen at?

Photosynthesis happens, most of the time, in the organelle called the chloroplast. However, there are organisms that have other types of plastids that can also carry out photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis on their plasma membranes. Essentially, photosynthesis can happen in a variety of locations. All it needs is some membrane materials to make a chemiosmotic gradient as well as the proteins to catalyze the reactions.


What provides the energy for photosynthesis to occur?

The process of photosynthesis requires energy. This energy is given off from sunlight. The two different types are ADP (adenodiphosphate) and ADP (adenotriphosphate). Which is used to make sugars and oxygen.


What is the structure that allow photosynthesis to occur?

The structure that photosynthesis takes place in is called a chloroplast in plants. However, not all photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast. Photosynthetic bacteria for example have no chloroplast, and yet they photosynthesize. Another possible answer to this could be chlorophyll, but again there are differences; different groups of organisms use different types of chlorophyll to facilitate photosynthesis. Thus, I think that the only true answer to this question is that the Sun is THE structure that allows photosynthesis to occur. However, in modern times even this is technically incorrect, as photosynthesis can be stimulated by any suitable light source giving off light at the proper wavelength, for example; a lightbulb. So perhaps the only correct answer is that light itself is what allows photosynthesis to occur.


What are the major events of photosynthesis?

1. processing of carbon dioxide and converting it to organic compounds such as sugar with usage of energy from sunlight.2. Releasing of waste product in the form of oxygentamah po yan :))

What is the definition of metabolically diverse?

Metabolically diverse means "able to perform various types of metabolism". Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that occur in living organisms to maintain life. These reactions fit into two categories: catabolism (the process of breaking down organic matter to release energy) and anabolism (the process of using energy to synthesise molecules needed by the cell, such as proteins). Some examples of different types of metabolism are fermentation, respiration and photosynthesis.

What two kinds of energy changes can take place during a chemical reaction?

Two types of energy changes that can occur in a chemical reaction are (1) endothermic and (2) exothermic. Endothermic is where energy is added to the system and exothermic is where energy is given off by the system.


What must a plant have for photosynthesis to occur?

Important plant organelle called plastid (chloroplast, chromoplast, etc.) are needed for photosynthesis to occur. These organelles stores various types of pigments, such as chloroplast and carotenoids which take in light and begin photosynthesis.


How do enzymes in your body make chemical reactions occur at safe tempertuare?

Enzymes lower the activation energy of certain types of reactions. Because energy is directly related to heat, a lower activation energy corresponds to lower heat.

What is energy released or absorbed during chemical change called?

It depends. There are two types of chemical reaction int his sense. Exothermic reactions release energy and endothermic reactions absorb it.
