Photosynthesis - Coggle Diagram
Photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Structure: double-membrane organelles containing thylakoid membranes, stroma, and grana.
Locations of each type of reaction: Light-dependent reactions occur in thylakoid membranes, while light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma.
Main products of each type of reaction: Light-dependent reactions produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH, while light-independent reactions yield glucose.

Plant pigments
-
Functions: Plant pigments absorb light energy, facilitating its transfer to reaction centers to initiate photosynthesis.
Accessory pigments
Types: Accessory pigments include carotenoids, xanthophylls, and phycobilins.
Functions: Accessory pigments broaden the range of absorbed wavelengths, enhancing photosynthesis efficiency and protecting chlorophyll from excess light.

Relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis in autotrophs: Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are interdependent processes where photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen used in cellular respiration, which in turn generates ATP utilized in various cellular functions.
