Photosynthesis There are two parts of photosynthesis - both occurs in the chloroplasts Light Dependent Reaction(thylakoid disc) and Light Independent Reaction(stroma)
Photosynthesis score card Light Dependent Rxn Need Sunlight Occurs in the Thylakoid disc Uses water(6 H2O) – to make Oxygen(6 O2)(waste of Plant) and H+ Makes ATP and NADPH Steps - Photosystem II, Electron transport chain, Photosystem I, electron transport chain Light Independent Rxn – Calvin Cycle Does not need light - only ATP and NADPH Occurs in the stroma Uses Carbon Dioxide(6 CO2) Makes Glucose (C6H12O6)
ATP and NADPH IMPORTANT MOLECULES for Photosynthesis Produced during Light Dependent Reaction of Photosythesis
Adenosine Triphosphate – ATP one more animation
How ATP is made.
NADPH Important for putting H on to Carbon molecule in Light Independent Rxn.
