Photosynthesis The Light & Dark Reactions Carbon Cycle
Photosynthesis Complex process that actually occurs in 2 stages Carbon Cycle
Light Reactions of Photosynthesis Requires light H2O required Occurs in the grana Converts ADP molecules into ATP
Light Reactions of Photosynthesis Water (H2O) molecules are split Result H2 + O 2
Light Reactions of Photosynthesis O2 is released into the atmosphere H will bond to NADP to form NADPH
Photosynthesis Diagram LIGHT REACTION (GRANA) 1. LIGHT 2. H2O 5. ATP 6. NADPH 3. Grana 4. O2
Dark Reaction of Photosynthesis ATP & NADPH from light reaction are used in the dark reaction Dark reactions do not require light Occurs in the stroma Requires carbon dioxide
Dark Reaction of Photosynthesis Calvin cycle (Carbon Cycle) synthesizes glucose
Dark Reaction of Photosynthesis ATP from the light reactions drives the Calvin cycle ATP energy + ADP + P NADPH releases H NADP H used to form glucose
Dark Reaction of Photosynthesis ADP & NADP returned to grana for light reaction
