Photosynthysis

Photosynthesis involves two primary processes that occur within the chloroplasts of plant cells. The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane where sunlight is absorbed, leading to the production of ATP and NADPH.

7 Steps

ADP becomes ATP.

Hydrogen ions diffuse through the protein channel.

NADPH is produced from NADP+.

Energy is absorbed from the sun.

Hydrogen ions are transported across the thylakoid membrane.

Water is broken down.

3 Main Stages

Regeniration

the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage

Reduction

The act of decreasing or reducing something

Carbon Fixation

the process wherein photosynthetic organisms turn inorganic carbon into organic compounds
