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.
<span>The inputs are also called reactants. In Cellular respiration, there are certain inputs in the form of glucose and oxygen. The outputs, generally known as the products, are water, carbon dioxide, and ATP molecules.
The general equation used to represent the inputs and outputs of cellular respiration is:
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP + Heat + Energy
C₆H₁₂O₆ +6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy (ATP+ Heat)</span>
