Technically, ATP is produced only in the light reaction, their are 18 ATP molecules formed in it. In the dark reaction, ADP is formed by the breaking of the second and third phosphate group in ATP. Though overall in photosynthesis ATP isn't produced, it is formed in the light reaction, then broken in the dark, then recycled into the light, no over all gain or loss.

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 a channel protein found in the thylakoid membrane that produces ATP from ADP and P?

ATP synthase is the channel protein found in the thylakoid membrane that produces ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate during the process of photophosphorylation in photosynthesis.


What processes produces the most ATP?

The electron transport chain during aerobic respiration produces the most ATP, generating up to 34 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose. This process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and involves a series of redox reactions that drive ATP synthesis.


What process makes oxygen?

I am not sure that there is such a process that produces ATP and oxygen, however, there are 2 processes that produce ATP, while one reqires oxygen, and the other does not. The process that produces ATP and does require oxygen is called aerobic respiration. While the process that produces ATP but does not need oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.


An electron transport chain that produces ATP is part of both the cellular respiration process and?

the photosynthesis process in cells. In cellular respiration, the electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, while in photosynthesis, it is found in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. Both processes utilize the electron transport chain to generate ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

Do chloroplast synthesize ATP?

Chloroplasts do not directly synthesize ATP. They produce ATP through the process of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy and stored in the form of ATP molecules. This ATP can then be used by the plant cell for cellular processes.


Does dark reaction of photosynthesis produce oxygen and ATP?

No, the dark reactions of photosynthesis (Calvin Cycle) do not directly produce oxygen or ATP. Instead, they use ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.


How much ATP is produced in the light dependent reactions?

In the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP is produced through the process of photophosphorylation. Each cycle of the light-dependent reactions produces two molecules of ATP.


What is produced by the light reaction of photosynthesis?

The light reaction of photosynthesis produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), NADPH, and oxygen. ATP and NADPH provide the energy and reducing power needed for the Calvin cycle (dark reactions) to produce sugar molecules.
