Question

Place the terms into the correct column that describes the reactions of photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the light-dependent reaction, which occurs in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE of the chloroplast, energy from SUNLIGHT is used to breakdown WATER to release electrons in order to synthesize ATP and NADPH from ADP and NADP+. In a nutshell, the processes involved in this stage are Electron transport chain, photosystem I, photosystem II, and ATP synthase.

- In the light-independent stage, also called CALVIN CYCLE, the ATP, NADPH, and CO2 are used as reactants to synthesize SUGAR (glucose), NADP+ and ADP (which goes back to the first stage) as products.
