    Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. It consists of two stages - the light reactions where sunlight is absorbed to produce ATP and NADPH, and the Calvin cycle or dark reactions where carbon is fixed and carbohydrates are produced using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through stomata and oxygen is released through stomata as a byproduct of the light reactions.

    Photosynthesis

    Overall Chemical Structure


    6CO2+ 12H2O + light energy C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O

    Multiple Reactions
    Photsynthesis is made up of two different
    reactions: Light and Dark (calvin cycle)

    Light Reactions
    O2 is released from water and not carbon
    dioxide.

    Stomata
    CO2 enters through the stomata and O2 is
    released through it.

    Light Reactions cont.


    Light reactions use the sun to make ATP and
    NADPH.

    Light Reactions
    The ATP and NADPH created by the light
    reactions are sent off to the calvin cycle.

    Calvin Cycle
    The first thing that takes place in the calvin
    cycle is carbon fixation.

    Dark Reactions
    After carbon fixation, carbon is reduced to
    carbohydrate by the addition of electrons.

    The end of the cycle


    Calvin cycle occurs in most plants during
    daylight, because only then can the light
    reactions provide the NADPH and ATP.
