Oxygen is generated as a waste product of photosynthesis. PHOTOSYNTHESIS Substrate and Product of Photosynthesis ‘+ Photosynthesis is a mult that requires sunlight, and water as substrates ator done 0; a Hie ‘Two Halves of Photosynthesis 1, Light Dependent Stage - energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and that energy is converted into stored chemical energy. 2, Light Independent Stage - The chemical energy harvested during the light dependent reactions drives the assembly of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide. The Cain Gye Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. Light- dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, use light energy to make ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle, which takes place in the stroma, uses energy derived from these compounds to make GASP from CO2. Summary of Photosynthesis During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. ‘This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
