Biology - Photosynthesis
What happens in the light independent phase? (include locations)
In the light independent phase carbon dioxide and hydrogen (from split water) are used to produce glucose. This occurs in te stroma.
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Temperature
Light intensity
Carbon dioxide conc.
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water -> Glucose + Oxygen
CO2 + H20 -> C6H1206 + O2
What is the purpose of photosynthesis?
To create glucose for respiration and other life functions
What happens in the light dependent phase? (include locations)
In the light dependent phase energy from light is used to split water into hydrogen (product) and oxygen (by-product). ATP is also produced. This occurs in the thlakoids.
