Do all reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chlorophyll?

Yes it has to have sunlight, or imatated sunlight as the light causes the water to split, which is needed by the plant to make food ( c6h12o6) its a long process but yes it needs light. Hence the name PHOTOsynthesis


Where in a cell do the light reaction of photosynthesis occur?

The light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. These reactions involve capturing light energy to drive the conversion of water into oxygen, ATP, and NADPH molecules, which are essential for the next stage of photosynthesis.


Is warmth necessary for photosynthesis?

Warmth is necessary for photosynthesis to occur, as it speeds up the chemical reactions in the process. However, excessive heat can also be detrimental to photosynthesis, as it can denature enzymes involved in the process.


In which cell organelle do the reactions that belong in areas B and C occur?

To accurately answer your question, I would need more context about what areas B and C refer to. However, generally speaking, if the reactions pertain to cellular respiration, they would occur in the mitochondria. If they relate to photosynthesis, they would occur in the chloroplasts. Please provide additional details for a more specific answer.


What must be available in order for photosynthesis to occur?

In order for photosynthesis to occur, CO2 must be captured from the environment and broken down into carbon and Oxygen via sunlight. The carbon is used for the plant while the oxygen is released.

Why do you need chemical reactions?

Chemical reactions occur in respiration, photosynthesis, and more life processes. Respiration and photosynthesis are both essential for life to exist.

How are light reactions and dark reactions similar and different?

Differences: >light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma >light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't > dark reactions use the products of the light reactions >light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step Similarities: >both in photosynthesis Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)

What are the 3 things that plants need for the process of photosynthesis to occur?

Plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to occur.


What energy is need for photosynthesis to occur?

Sunlight


How are the dark reactions that occur in plants dependent on the light-reactions?

The dark reactions that occur in plants are dependent on the light reactions because the dark reactions need ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADPH are energy molecules that dark reactions need to do their job.


To do photosynthesis plants require?

In order to perform photosynthesis plants need only light, water, and carbon dioxide.. In warmer weather and greater light intensity and with sufficient water, photosynthesis should occur fastest.


Does the Calvin cycle only occur in the dark?

It cannot occur in the dark. It contains an enzyme called rubisco which is a light-activated enzyme. Also the Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy produced in the light reactions, and the light reactions need sunlight energy in order to produce the energy needed in the Calvin cycle. Hope that helps :)
