What is the complete process of photosynthesis? <br>please answer as soon as possible, thank you.
oee [108]
Photosynthesis: 6H2O + 6CO2 ----> (yields, in the presence of sunlight) C6H12O6 + 6O2

Light Dependent:
Plants break up the water (H20) into a Hydrogen and an Oxygen (O2). The Oxygen is released through the plant's stoma. The electron from the H is energized by the sun and used in the Electron Transport Chain to make ATP.

Light Independent:
Used CO2, ATP and NADPH in the Calvin Cycle (Basically moving a bunch of Carbon and rearranging it) to eventually make a Glucose molecule (C6H1206).
