A molecule of water is split producing: 2H+ which contributes to the increase in proton gradient, 2 electrons reducing P680+ to P680, and an oxygen atom which later combines with another oxygen atom to form O2.

How do plants create food What is the formula for photosynthesis Where does photosynthesis take place and why is it possible?

The formula for photosynthesis (abv. photos.) is: Light Energy + Co2 + H20 --------> Carbohydrate + Oxygen As a whole, photos. takes place in the chloroplasts of a plant cell. There are two main reactions that occur during photos. The light-dependent reaction and the light-independent reaction. Each reaction takes place within a different section of the chloroplasts. The Thylakoids are the sight of the light-dependent reactions. Thylakoids look like little green coins. When they are stacked, they are called grana. Light dependent reactions are very complicated. They involve two photosystems, called photosystem II and I. Each photosystem has it's own little reaction that is complicated. PS I makes ATP and PS II makes ATP + HADPH. PS II is famous for spliting H2O's into H+ and O2. The stroma is the sight of the light indepentdent reactions. Stroma is the gel-like area outside of the thylakoids. As the name suggests, these reactions don't require light. This is called the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin Cycle pretty much takes 3CO2 and changes it into 6 PGAL's + 3C.Were dose food-making in plants take place?Were dose food-making in plants take place?


Why do plants produce more carbon dioxide than oxygen during the night t?

Oxygen is produced by photosynthesis, which can only occur when there is light present. Carbon dioxide is produced by respiration, which occurs all the time, including night. or Respiration can happen without sunlight, but photosynthesis cannot.


What is photo synthesis?

An AnswerIn the word photosynthesis, photo means "with the use of light" and synthesis means "building" or "assembly." So photosynthesis means building or growth with the use of light. The term refers to the process by which green plants use light to grow. An Answerphoto means a picture and synthesis means photograph which means a picture produced by photography; to take a photograph of; to practice photography; to be photographed or be suitable for being photographed in some specified way. Synthesis means the combining of the constituent elements of separate material or abstract entities into a single or unified entity; a complex whole formed by combining; the forming or building of a more complex substance or compound from elements or simpler compounds; the integration of traits, attitudes, and impulses to create a total personality.

Why photosynthetic tissues are not found in animals?

Animals do not have chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants, so they are not capable of producing their own food through photosynthesis. Animals have evolved to obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter, rather than creating their own energy from sunlight like plants do.


What does a plant need in order to make its own food?

Plants are autotrophic and produce "food" in the form of simple sugars through he process of photosynthesis. Physically the process of photosynthesis requires: light (not necessarily sunlight), Carbon Dioxide and water - and releases oxygen as a byproduct. While the plants still rely on external sources of nutrients (macro and micro elements) in order to perform other necessary metabolic functions.

What a pigment molecule that transfers electrons during light reaction?

The pigment molecule that transfers electrons during the light reaction is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy and transfers electrons to the reaction center of the photosystem, initiating the flow of electrons through the electron transport chain. This process is essential for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

ATP and NADH2

How does the heat content of the reaction change in the process of photosynthesis when a glucose molecule is formed?

The heat content of the reaction in photosynthesis where a glucose molecule is formed is endothermic, meaning energy is absorbed. This is because sunlight is absorbed during the light-dependent reactions to produce ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the light-independent reactions to form glucose. Overall, photosynthesis is an energy-storing process.


What part of the water molecule is used during photosynthesis?

The hydrogen atoms in the water molecule are used during photosynthesis. Water molecules are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons during the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis.

Water is the source of what product of photosynthesis during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

# photosynthesis 2. Water is the source of hydrogenduring the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere and the hydrogen is transferred to a carrier molecule called NADP, to produce NADPH. The NADPH is then used in the light independent reaction to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. See my answer to this question on WikiAnswers: What connects the light dependent reaction to the light independent reaction?


Why are the product of the light reaction of photosynthesis important?

They are used to produce sugar during the dark reaction
