The main overall product of the dark reactions of photosynthesis is glucose. These reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, use the energy from ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose through a series of chemical reactions.
You should ask Mr. Newberry. Hahaha
The energy formed in the light reactions of photosynthesis is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose during the Calvin cycle (dark reactions).
While the products of the light reactions, ATP and NADPH, are not explicitly shown in the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis, they are crucial for the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) where they provide the energy and reducing power needed to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. The overall equation for photosynthesis simplifies the process and highlights the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
ATP and NADPH
Thylakoids are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
Clorophyll collects the light energy that is used to fuel and start the chemical reactions for photosynthesis.
ATP and NADPH
ATP and NADPH
The heat content of the reaction in photosynthesis where a glucose molecule is formed is endothermic, meaning energy is absorbed. This is because sunlight is absorbed during the light-dependent reactions to produce ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the light-independent reactions to form glucose. Overall, photosynthesis is an energy-storing process.
There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
