Biology Photosynthesis Boricua

The biological processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are essential for energy production in living organisms. Photosynthesis occurs in thylakoid membranes within chloroplasts, where light-dependent reactions generate ATP and NADPH using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.

chloraphyll molecules in thylakoids capture sun evergy and store in energy cariars

NADPH

ATP

requires constant supply of water and CO2

Leaves must open stomata to admit CO2 but close to prevent excess water loss from evaporation

6CO2 breaks down into 6 carbon sugar called glucose

Produce NADPH in photosystem II

Prouduce ATP in photosystem I

Produce 32 more ATP and water

the pyruvate from the glycosis breaks down

Creates the followins

2ATP

8NADH

2FADH2

Uses 2 ATP, makes 4 ATP (gains 2 total)

Split glucose into pyruvate
