Study Notes
Photosynthesis Overview
- Photosynthesis is a process that converts light energy into chemical energy, primarily through the synthesis of glucose.
Photosynthesis Inputs
- Requires six molecules of water (6H2O) and six molecules of carbon dioxide (6CO2).
- Light energy is essential for initiating the photosynthesis process.
Photosynthesis Outputs
- Produces one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) as the primary energy storage.
- Releases six molecules of oxygen (6O2) as a byproduct.
Light Reactions
- Input materials include light energy, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), inorganic phosphate (Pi), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), and water (H2O).
- Outputs from light reactions are oxygen (O2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and reduced NADP (NADPH).
Calvin Cycle
- Inputs necessary for the Calvin Cycle include carbon dioxide (CO2), ATP, and NADPH.
- The primary output of the Calvin Cycle is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), a key intermediate in glucose synthesis.
