Solution Summary

The expert names the reaction in which plants require no light.

Solution Preview

This part of the photosynthetic process is also called the Calvin Cycle. With one cycle of this reaction 3 carbon atoms are fixed or placed in a sugar molecule. This pathway is called C-3 photosynthesis. This is the way that most dicots or broadleaf plants make sugars ...

  • Photosynthetic reactions

    The energy harvested via the light reaction is stored in form of ATP and NADPH which move to the stroma. 2.Dark Reaction or Light Independent Reaction The dark reaction takes place in the stroma within the chloroplast, and converts CO2 to sugar

  • Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Co-exist as Paired Metabolic Processes

    Enzymes increase the rate of reaction by reducing the the activation energy barrier for a given process. Enzymes are not destroyed in the reaction which means they can initiate processes over and over (catalytic!).

  • Cell Chemistry: Enzymes, Metabolism, and Photosynthesis

    The two photosystem is the components of the light reaction in photosynthesis. (1) 4) Why is photosynthesis critical to nearly every life form, not just plants and algae?

  • Energy acquisition

    Perhaps some C3 plants will never have the opportunity to adapt by incorporating C4 mechanisms (which require structurally changes in the lea f cells) and will, because of other, as yet unrecognized, advantages, remain extant for a long time.

  • The photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle (PCR)

    **What roles do light and Rubisco play in regulating the PCR cycle? Explain your answer. In the photosynthetic carbon reduction (PCR) or dark reaction, it is light independent and require both ATP and NADPH to drive the reaction.

  • Cellular Respiration and Aerobic Photosynthesis

    Energy source used Cell organelles involved in the reaction Role of ATP in the reaction Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar, in two steps, the light dependent and light independent reactions

  • Structure and Function of ATP

    It is a light independent process in which the products of the light reaction (i.e., ATPs) are used to form carbon-carbon covalent bonds of carbohydrates. During this process ATP formed during light reaction are utilized.

  • Role of ATP in the reaction

    Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar, in two steps, the light dependent and light independent reactions. Oxygen is produced as a by product during photosynthesis.

  • Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the basic reaction of green plants and many species of bacteria. The word photosynthesis means synthesis in presence of light (photo means light).
