What is the role of plants in the process of photosynthesis?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce carbon-containing sugars and carbohydrates.
What are the two types of reactions involved in photosynthesis?
What are the two types of reactions involved in photosynthesis?
The two types of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions.
Where do the light-independent reactions take place?
Where do the light-independent reactions take place?
The light-independent reactions take place in the stroma of the chloroplast, outside the thylakoids.

Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce carbon-containing sugars and other carbohydrates through photosynthesis.
Light-Independent Reactions
- Occur outside the thylakoids, in the stroma of the chloroplast.
- Use ATP and NADPH molecules produced in the light-dependent reactions to build high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide.
- Do not require light to operate.
Photosynthetic Process
- Combines light-dependent and light-independent reactions to capture sunlight energy and convert it into energy-rich compounds like carbohydrates.
