Hey Im Emma and this is Bugsby! Today we're going to be telling you all about photosyntehsis!
Grana
Thylakoid Membrane
Stroma
This is the structure of Chlorplast
Chlorophyll is used in photosynthesis. It reflecs sunlight off of plants to give them a greenish look.
Light Dependent Reactions
The Equation for Photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Light Dependent reactions occur in the grana.
Chloroplast is an organelle that converts light energy into chemical energy for the photosynthesis process. It holds a grana, thylakoid membrane, and stroma.
Light Independent Reactions
Light Independent Reactions occur in the stroma.
Light Dependent reactions occur in the grana. They use energy from the sun to make energy-carrying molecules. (ATP & NADH). Light Dependent reactions release oxygen as a waste product.
Light Independent reactions occur in the stroma. They use the energy from energy-carrying molecules from light-dependent reactions to make sugar. (glucose).
