What else can I help you with?
What organelles are found in plant cells that absorb energy from sunlight and use that energy to drive chemical reactions that produce sugars and oxygen?
Chloroplasts are the organelles found in plant cells that absorb energy from sunlight and use that energy to drive chemical reactions through a process called photosynthesis, which produces sugars and oxygen.
What is the primary function of light reactions?
synthesis of atp
What is the stage of photosynthesis called in which plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build high energy sugars?
This stage is called the Calvin Cycle, which occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts. It is the final step of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using the energy stored in ATP and NADPH.
What type of reaction is involved in many of the chemical reactions of photosynthesis?
Many of the chemical reactions in photosynthesis are redox reactions, involving both reduction and oxidation processes. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is reduced to sugars, while water is oxidized to produce oxygen.
The light-independent reactions take place in the?
StromaPhotosynthesis takes place in the Chloroplasts of the plant cell because it contains chlorophyll, the proteins required for photosynthesis, and the membrane.
Series of reactions in photosynthesis that synthesize simple sugars?
The Carbon Cycle.
Which terms is the part of photosynthesis when energy is used to make sugars like glucose?
Light-independent reactions
How does energy get to cells?
The midochondiron produce energy for the cell
Process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars?
photosynthesis
Are enzymes sugars?
No, enzymes are not sugars. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biological reactions, whereas sugars are simple carbohydrates. Enzymes facilitate chemical reactions in living organisms, while sugars primarily serve as a source of energy.
What organelles are found in plant cells that absorb energy from sunlight and use that energy to drive chemical reactions that produce sugars and oxygen?
Chloroplasts are the organelles found in plant cells that absorb energy from sunlight and use that energy to drive chemical reactions through a process called photosynthesis, which produces sugars and oxygen.
During photosynthesis plants generate sugars which contain chemical potential energy but plants need external energy to perform photosynthesis. Where does this external energy come from?
The external energy needed for photosynthesis comes from sunlight. Plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. This stored chemical energy in the form of sugars is used by the plant for growth, reproduction, and metabolism.
What is the primary function of light reactions?
synthesis of atp
How do light reactions provide energy for dark reactions?
In photosynthesis, the light reactions converts the sunlight int chemical energy (ATP molecules, NADH+H). Dark reactions (light independent reactions) do not use sunlight directly, but use energy stored in ATP and NADH molecules combined with CO2 to produce sugars.
What do light independent reactions do?
they produce simple sugars
Sugars are created during?
Sugars are created during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis. Sugar is the byproduct of the photosynthesis and is a chemical reaction within a plant's cell.
What is the stage of photosynthesis called in which plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build high energy sugars?
This stage is called the Calvin Cycle, which occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts. It is the final step of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using the energy stored in ATP and NADPH.
