Study Notes
Light Independent Reactions
- Reactants include ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Products formed are adenosine diphosphate (ADP), NADP+, and glucose.
Light Dependent Reactions
- Reactants consist of light energy, water, ADP, and NADPH.
- Products generated include oxygen (O2), ATP, and NADPH.
Locations of Light Dependent Reactions
- Occur in the grana or thylakoids of chloroplasts, where light energy is captured.
Locations of Light Independent Reactions
- Take place in the stroma of chloroplasts, utilizing the products of the light-dependent reactions.
Photosynthesis Formula
- The overall equation for photosynthesis is:
- 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
- This outlines the transformation of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light into glucose and oxygen.
