Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. If you are trying to "cut and paste" unfortunately it does not work here. Please type your questions clearly.
I can help you understand and correct the answers you provided:
Light-independent reaction:
1. The purpose of this pathway is to convert carbon dioxide into glucose or other organic molecules through a process called the Calvin cycle.
2. You correctly stated that it takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts.
3. This reaction needs ATP, carbon dioxide, and NADPH (which is produced in the light-dependent reaction) to proceed.
4. The light-independent reaction produces glucose or other organic molecules.
5. ATP primarily supplies the energy needed for this pathway.
Light-dependent reaction:
1. The purpose of this pathway is to convert light energy into chemical energy, specifically ATP and NADPH.
2. You accurately mentioned that it takes place in the thylakoid membrane.
3. This reaction needs chlorophyll molecules (which capture the light) and other molecules like water to proceed.
4. The light-dependent reaction produces ATP and reduced NADP (NADPH), which are utilized in the light-independent reaction.
5. ATP in this pathway supplies and stores energy. It transports solar energy in the form of ATP to power other chemical reactions.
Electron Transport:
1. The purpose of this pathway is to generate ATP through the movement of electrons.
2. It takes place in the mitochondria, specifically in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
3. This reaction needs hydrogen atoms from NADH and FADH2, which are generated in previous steps of cellular respiration.
4. As a result of the electron transport chain, ATP is produced by the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
5. ATP in this pathway primarily supplies energy.
