Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process taking place in the green plants which are involved in the formation of the glucose molecule using Carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The process of photosynthesis takes place in two phases:

1. Light-dependent phase

2. Light independent phase

<u>Light-dependent phase </u>

Light-dependent phase takes place in the thylakoid membrane where the Photosystem I and II are present.

The photosystem II absorbs the sunlight of 680 nm wavelength which excites the electron of the chlorophyll. The electron moves in the photosystem and through the reaction center-exit the photosystem and enters the electron transport chain.

The electron is then transferred via the electron carriers like plastoquinone, cytochrome, and plastocyanin and is transferred to photosystem I which absorbs the light at 700 nm. From here the electron is taken by ferrodoxin and form NADH.

The electron then reaches the ATP synthase and forms the ATP molecules thus ATP and NADPH are formed in the reaction but the loss of electron in chlorophyll is fulfilled by the water molecule which on hydrolysis provides the electrons and stabilize the structure.

<u>  Light independent phase </u>

The phase during which the Rubisco enzyme binds with the carbon dioxide and forms 3-PGA. This 3 PGA is then reduced to G3P which requires the 6 ATP molecules. The G3P molecule then forms 1 molecule of glucose and the Rubp is again regenerated.

What is the relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage
4vir4ik [10]
The relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage is "as the ionic bond strength increases, cleavage will be more difficult". 
There are ionic bonds between the minerals that held them together. Ionic bonds are the consequence of electrostatic fascination and electron exchange amongst positive and negative particles (cations and anions). Ionic bonding infers the development of requested crystalline solids and the cleavage of those solids will rely upon the quality of this bonding.
