The hydrogen ions pumped across the innermembrane into the thylacoid space fall down the electrochemical gradient through the ATP synthase where ADP is phosphorylated into ATP which is then used in the Calvin cycle rearrangements of carbon fixed intermediates to produce the gyceraldehyde-3-phosphate sugar the plants need.

∙ 10y agoThe ATP synthase produces the ATP (through photophosphorylation) required for the Calvin cycle. In order to produce one glucose, 18 ATP are required. These ATP come from the ATP synthase.

What is the role synthase in photosynthesis?
to produce ATP for the calvin cycle
Which molecules are involved in photosynthesis and respiration?
ATP
What is the purpose of the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP isn't created during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis merely creates glucose, which is afterwards consumed to create the ATP. This ATP, however, serves the purpose all ATP does in the body: energy that the cell can use.
Energy flows through photosynthesis in the form of a molecule of?
Answer: ATP glucose
What is the production of ATP in photosynthesis called?
Glycolysis produces ATP in plants to power cellular processes. Photosynthesis harnesses the energy from the sun and stores it in glucose molecules.
What is the role synthase in photosynthesis?
to produce ATP for the calvin cycle
Is the goal of photosynthesis to get ATP?
The goal of photosynthesis is to provide organic matter to the living organisms of this planet. It does not happen only for ATP. Although, the way energy is utilized from organic food, role of ATP is paramount.
What is the role of photosynthesis in the light reactions?
photosynthesis make food for life. ATP and NADPH2 will form in the light reaction.
What is the role of NADPH in photosynthesis?
The light reactions produce ATP and NADPH which they share with the Calvin cycle. The role of the nadph is producing energy.
Which molecules are involved in photosynthesis and respiration?
ATP
Which process of photosynthesis turns sunlight into ATP?
it is photosynthesis
What is the purpose of the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP isn't created during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis merely creates glucose, which is afterwards consumed to create the ATP. This ATP, however, serves the purpose all ATP does in the body: energy that the cell can use.
What is function of chloroplasm?
The main function of chloroplasm is to conduct photosynthesis. When photosynthesis is completed, ATP is formed. ATP is a form of energy.
What happens in a photosystem?
The role of photosynthesis II is the generation of ATP along with splitting of the water molecules. The electron transfer, is another function of photosynthesis II.
Energy flows through photosynthesis in the form of a molecule of?
Answer: ATP glucose
What is the production of ATP in photosynthesis called?
Glycolysis produces ATP in plants to power cellular processes. Photosynthesis harnesses the energy from the sun and stores it in glucose molecules.
What will happen to photosynthesis if ther is no light?
it wouldn't do any good because ATP is the energy that the plant needs. bc photosynthesis also requires ATP to function, eventually it would deplete its own ATP stores
