Photosynthesis
What is it?
Photosynthesis is the process where a plant makes Oxygen and Glucose from Sunlight, Water and Carbon Dioxide.
During the process of photosynthesis the water loses electros so it oxidized, and the Carbon Dioxide get reduced because it gain electrons.
-
Light reactions
Light-dependent reaction is the called Photosynthesis and is the one where the plant takes CO2, Water and Sunlight to make O2 and Glucose
-
Light-independent reactions is the one called the Calvin Cycle, this is a process in which the Three-Carbon Sugars are created, these sugars are created to help the plant building. The Calvin Cycle will take CO2 molecules out of the air to create the sugars, these sugars are: Glucose, Starch and Cellulose
-
What does it need?
A plant needs: Water, Carbon Dioxide and Sunlight
Water
Plants will abosrb water thanks to the roots, the water will get moved thanks to a tissue called the Xylem
-
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
The CO2 will get in the plant thanks to little pores called Stomata, once photosynthesis is done Oxygen will get out the plant via de Stomata
-
-
Where does it occur?
Photosynthesis occurs in the Chlorophyll, which is located in almost any part of the plant
Chlorophyll is located inside the Chloroplast, it is the green pigment that traps sunlight for the process of Photosynthesis.
