The Calvin Cycle. This is why it is sometimes called the "Light independent reaction".
Water is taken in. Light energy is used
No, carbon dioxide is not taken into the chloroplast during the light-dependent reactions. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Carbon dioxide is actually taken in during the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle or dark reactions, which occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
Light reactions give off energy carrying molecules such as ATP and NADH. The energy carrying molecules are then taken to the Calvin Cycle to be turned into gluclose. *Apex
The light reactions of photosynthesis generate ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose from carbon dioxide. Without these energy-rich molecules produced in the light reactions, the Calvin cycle would not have the necessary resources to synthesize glucose. Therefore, the light reactions are essential for the overall process of photosynthesis and glucose production.
The raw materials (reactants) for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and light energy. Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air through tiny pores on plant leaves called stomata, while water is taken up by the roots from the soil. Light energy is captured by the pigment chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of plant cells to drive the photosynthetic reactions.
The inputs of the Dark Reaction are NADPH, ATP, and CO2. The NADPH and ATP, which were produced in the Light Reactions, fix the carbon into a carbohydrate such as glucose. Enzymes are also needed for the Dark Reaction to take place. One such enzyme is Rubisco, which interacts with CO2 and RuBP in the first step of the Dark Reaction.
To complete photosynthesis, plants require water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. Water is absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves, where it is used in the light-dependent reactions. Carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere through small pores in the leaves called stomata. Sunlight provides the energy needed for the photosynthetic process to occur.
Normally, a note or a brief letter is used to report an absence from work, but if you are required to write a 'formal' report on your absence, here is a suggested format:Name of absentee:Date(s) of absence:Reason for absence: (Keep it brief and to the point, for example personal illness, family emergency, emergency hospitalization, victim of crime, etc.) If applicable... See attached doctor's note.Steps taken to mitigate absence (if applicable): Advised co-workers (name(s) of steps that should taken in my absence. Steps taken or materials prepared prior to absence to be available in the event of an absence.Issues arising from absence: Be honest.Steps taken to mitigate issues arising from absence: State what you have done since your return to fix any problems created by your absence.Signed:Date:
There are a number of photosynthetic chemicals employed by living things. When sunlight strikes these chemicals they are taken from a low energy state to a higher energy state which can then be used to 'do things'
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
No, chemical reactions are not the only reactions that may involve absorption of energy. A physical change like heating water to vapor is also endothermic.
All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.
