Which of the following is an important difference between light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis? A) The light-dependent reactions occur only during the day; the light-independent reactions occur only during the night.
Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like Calvin Cycle (light independent reactions), light-dependent reactions, ATP and more.
Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like The carbon 'that makes up organic molecules in plants is derived directly from, The O2 released during photosynthesis comes from, Carbohydrate-synthesizing reactions of photosynthesis directly require and more.
Describe properties of light important for photosynthesis. Outline the steps in both the light-dependent and light-independent reactions in photosynthesis. Explain photorespiration and the three major photosynthetic pathways used by plants
Light energy enters the process of photosynthesis when pigments absorb the light. In plants, pigment molecules absorb only visible light for photosynthesis. The visible light seen by humans as white light actually exists in a rainbow of colors.
Photosynthesis is essential to all life on earth; both plants and animals depend on it. It is the only biological process that can capture energy that originates in outer space (sunlight) and convert it into chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that every organism uses to power its metabolism.
Light energy initiates the process of photosynthesis when pigments absorb the light. Organic pigments, whether in the human retina or the chloroplast thylakoid, have a narrow range of energy levels that they can absorb.
