What is photosynthesis? |
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, specifically glucose. It occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. |
|
Stages of photosynthesis |
1. Light-dependent reactions: Take place in the thylakoid membranes, producing ATP and NADPH.
|
|
Importance of chlorophyll? |
Chlorophyll is the pigment in plants that absorbs light, mainly in the blue and red wavelengths, and reflects green. It plays a crucial role in capturing light energy. |
|
Factors affecting photosynthesis |
Temperature, light intensity, and CO₂ concentration affect the rate of photosynthesis. |
|
Equation of photosynthesis? |
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ |
Summary Section:
Photosynthesis is a vital process that allows plants to create energy from light. It consists of two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. Chlorophyll is essential for light absorption, and the process is influenced by factors like temperature, light, and CO₂ levels.
