Photosynthesis consists of two main reactions: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). During the light-dependent reactions, sunlight is captured by chlorophyll, leading to the production of ATP and NADPH while splitting water molecules to release oxygen. In the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Together, these reactions enable plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

How do you know that the processes photosynthesis and cellular respiration follow the law of conservation of mass?

All chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass, and the many reactions that make up photosynthesis are not exceptions. Photosynthesis takes carbon from the air and water from the soil to produce sugars and oxygen.


How are the two stages of photosynthesis the light reactions and the Calvin cycle dependent upon each other?

Photosynthesis' products are the same as the reactants of cellular respiration. In other words photosynthesis makes what cellular respiration uses.


How can photosynthesis be increased by increasing the temperature?

Temperature affects living things mainly by affecting the rate of chemical reactions. These are catalysed by enzymes, which are speeded up by increasing the temperature. The Calvin cycle is a series of chemical reactions, so increasing the temperature increases the rate of reactions in the Calvin cycle and so increases the rate of photosynthesis.


What is made of enzymes?

enzymes are made up of protein; enzymes are used to speed up chemical reactions.


Where does photosynthesis end up in?

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Go the related link below if you want to know more. --------------------------- Alternately, the energy trapped by photosynthesis ends up in sugars which end up in animals that eat plants. Therefore photosynthesis ends up in life!


What is photosynthesis made up?

sugar and oxygen


Chemical reactions occur on the active on an enzyme?

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions inside living organisms. They are made up of proteins.


What terms is a process that is made up of two other terms?

Photosynthesis is a term for a process that is made from two other words. This is the process that plants use to get energy from the sun. Photo means light, and synthesis means putting together.


What are the two other variable that affect photosynthesis?

Two other variables that affect photosynthesis are temperature and carbon dioxide levels. Photosynthesis rates increase with higher temperatures up to a certain point, beyond which they decrease. Carbon dioxide levels also influence photosynthesis, as higher concentrations can boost the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain level.


Is chloroplast made up of thylakoids?

A chloroplast is composed of: -An outer membrane (phospholipid bilayer). -Stroma, which is a sort of cytosol. -Thylakoids, which are the site of photosynthesis. The thylakoids make up a very important part of a chloroplast, but they aren't the only thing in there.


Is ATP produced in both photosynthesis and respiration?

Yes and No. There are two parts of photosynthesis, the light reactions and Calvin cycle. The light reactions produce ATP and NADPH which the Calvin reactions then use to produce sugars. So yes in respration 32-38 ATP are produced. And yes ATP is made by the light rxns in photosynthesis but is not a final product like the ATP in respiration


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.
