Well there are two possibilities...
Calvin cycle: Photosynthesis would be considered coupled with the Calvin cycle because the products of photosynthesis are used as reactants in the Calvin cycle. After the ETC of photosystem I, the NADP+ is reduced to NADPH, while the last member of the ETC is oxidized. This NADPH is used to donate the electron in the Calvin cycle. ATP is also a product of photosynthesis, more specifically the ETC between the two photosystems.
Cellular Respiration: Water is need by photosynthesizing organisms to donate electrons to the reaction center in the antenna complex of photosystem II. This electron is eventually added to NADP+ (as previously stated) and then deposited into the Calvin cycle where RuBP is fixed with carbon and is made into G3P. Our electron is still attached to one G3P, this G3P is going to be made into glucose (or sucrose, fructose, etc.). This glucose is used in cellular respiration where our electron may be stripped off during glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, or the Krebs's cycle. Either way it is transported to the mitochondrial ETC where it is "passed down" to oxygen. Oxygen is then reduced by our electron into water. This water can then be eventually used again in the beginning of photosynthesis completing a beautiful biological cycle.

What kind of reaction is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a Endergonic/Endothermic reaction.
Does photosynthesis represent a single replacement reaction?
No, it is a double replacement reaction. Photosynthesis is not a single reaction pathway but two, one dependent on the other. Therefore, your answer is photosynthesis is a double replacement reaction. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Also, since you start AND end with two compounds, that also makes it a double replacement reaction.
What are the three parts of photosynthesis?
There are only two parts of photosynthesis, light reaction and light independent reaction (Calvin Cycle).
What is the complete reaction for photosynthesis?
What is the complete reaction for photosynthesis?" What is the complete reaction for photosynthesis?" carbon dioxide + water + Light energy = carbohydrate + oxygen BETTER GO TOhttp://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookPS.htmlits a very informative website
What are the parts of photosynthesis?
There are two major steps.They are light reaction and dark reaction.
What kind of reaction is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a Endergonic/Endothermic reaction.
Why photosynthesis called endothermic reaction?
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction because it takes energy (from sunlight) from the environment to use in the photosynthesis reaction. Without the energy input, the photosynthesis reaction could not occur.
An endergonic reaction that is driven by the splitting of ATP molecules?
Coupled reaction
Why is light reaction of photosynthesis essential for the dark reaction to proceed?
why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
Because it requires energy input what type of reaction is photosynthesis-?
Carbon dioxide is the reaction pf photosynthesis. This takes a lot of energy.
Is photosynthesis the chemical reaction that happens in a cell?
Yes, photosynthesis is a reaction typical for plants.
What is water roles in the light reaction of photosynthesis?
what is waters roles in the light reaction of photosynthesis
What are two advantages of the presence of coupled reactions?
A coupled reaction is a chemical reaction having a common intermediate in which energy is transferred from one side of the reaction to the other. Many things are made this way.
Is exothermic reaction an example of photosynthesis?
An exothermic reaction is a reaction where heat or light energy is released. An example of this type of reaction is burning a candle.
What is a classic coupled reaction?
A classic coupled reaction is the hydrolysis of ATP, where energy released from the break down of ATP is used to drive an endergonic reaction. This coupling of reactions is common in many cellular processes, where the energy released from one reaction is utilized to power another reaction.
Is the chemical reaction of photosynthesis?
6CO2+6H2O+light energy-->C6H12O6+6O2 Chemical reaction of Photosynthesis
What are the two reaction phases in photosynthesis?
light reaction and dark reaction
