PHOTOSYNTHESI

S
It is a photo biochemical
process in
which energy rich compounds
such
as carbohydrates are
synthesized
from simple in organic
compounds
 REACTION OF
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

 6CO2 + 12H2O chlorophyll C6H12O6 + 6O2 +

6H2O
(CARBON (WATER) (GLUCOSE) (OXYGEN)
LIGHT

DIOXIE)
 TWO STEPS OF
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

 1. Light
Reaction
 2. Dark
Reaction
 STEPS OF LIGHT REACTION
• Two photo systems work in a
coordinated manner.
• Light energy is converted into
chemical energy.
• The end products are ATP and
NADPH2.
• As a result of photolysis of water
oxygen
is evolved as a by product.
STEPS OF DARK REACTION

1. Dark reaction requires no

light
2. No liberation of oxygen.
3. It takes place in the stroma
of chloroplasts.
4. The energy rich compounds
are used to produce the
organic compounds.
 FACTORS AFFECTING
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

External Internal Factors:-

Factors:-
 1. Chlorophyll contents
 1. Light  2. Accumulation of
 2. CO2 products
 3. structure of leaves
 3. Water
 4. Temperature
 5. Oxygen
 SINGNIFICANCE OF
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

 1. All life of universe depends

upon
the plants for their food.
 2. Only plants are able to
convert
light energy of sun in the
form
of chemical energy
 3. Oxygen is evolved during
photo-
