Photosynthesis is alkaline because it involves the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which leads to the release of oxygen as a byproduct. The conversion of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates results in a decrease in hydrogen ions in the chloroplasts, making the solution more alkaline. This alkalinity helps drive the reactions of the Calvin cycle, which leads to the synthesis of sugars and other organic compounds.
