STEP ONE: Harvesting Radiant Energy

The first step of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Light photons are absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyll, which is abundant in the thylakoid membrane of each chloroplast. Chlorophyll appears green to the eye because it does not absorb green waves on the light spectrum. It reflects them instead, so that’s the color you see.

STAGE 2: Converting Radiant Energy

After radiant energy from sunlight is absorbed, the plant converts light energy into a usable form of chemical energy to fuel the plant’s cells

STAGE 3: Storing Radiant Energy

The last stage of the photosynthesis process is known as the Calvin-Benson cycle, in which the plant uses atmospheric carbon dioxide and water from soil to convert ATP and NADPH. The chemical reactions that make up the Calvin-Benson cycle occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.

What gasses does a greenhouse have?

alekssr [168]

Hey there!

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is "water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone".

Reason:

When the sun shoots the harmful heat rays (radiant energy)onto Earths atmosphere its get sucked from the ozone layer transforming the radiant energy into greenhouse gases! (making five types)

Therefore the answers are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
