Question

What is the first part of Photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis:

1. It is the process of synthesizing food by plants with the help of water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide.
2. In this process, Phototrophs convert light energy, which is sunlight, to chemical energy, which is sugar, later utilized by other cellular activities.
3. Photosynthesis consists of two sequential stages: The light-dependent reactions and The light-independent reactions, or Calvin Cycle.
4. The light-dependent reactions or light reactions: It converts light energy to chemical energy with the use of water, the chemical energy is stored in ATP and NADPH, which releases oxygen as a waste product.
5. Here, energy is captured by chloroplasts, and a Light reaction takes place in the Thylakoid membrane
6. The light-independent reactions, or Calvin Cycle, take place in stroma, in this, ATP is used to create energy in the form of sugars.
