ATP is called energy currency of cell , it is required by all processes of cell including Calvin cycle .
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to begin the Calvin cycle. They also use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) molecules, which are generated during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, to power the Calvin cycle.
Well, without photosynthesis, the plants would not have energy for building their bodies. So with a little exagerration, it could be said that photosynthesis is building up the plants, which represent carbohydrates and other molecules needed by animals.
photosynthesis is how plants breath.
photosynthesis is how plants breath.
Comparing the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, which requires CO2?
Glucose
Plant sugar is "sucrose", made up of the simpler sugar molecules "glucose" and "fructose" (both produced by photosynthesis).
Sugars are produced during the Calvin cycle, which takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.
No. Photosynthesis occurs in cell organelles termed as the chloroplasts. Mitochondria is the cell organelle where energy is produced by oxidation of molecules such as sugars produced during photosynthesis. Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondrion.
Glucose(organic molecule) and oxygen are produced by photosynthesis. Because only plants are capable of synthesizing organic compounds from inorganic substances. The photosynthesis is performed by a number of chemical reactions. The entire process is still beyond the grasp of our technocrates.
C3 plants
the sugar produced by photosynthesis is the plants 'food.' it is the point of the process. plants 'do' photosynthesis to get sugar, which they 'consume' in a way.
