2.what happens in the second part of photosynthesis
3. What is the second part of photosynthesis called
4.what are two products of the first stage of photosynthesis
5.how many steps are there in the second stage of photosynthesis and how often do the occur
6.what is the role of ATP and NADPH in the second stage of photosynthesis
7.is photosynthesis efficient
8. what other method are there for an organism to use CO2 to make sugars
1. In the first part of photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of plant cells, which initiates a series of chemical reactions.
2. In the second part of photosynthesis, the energy from light is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
3. The second part of photosynthesis is called the Calvin Cycle or the dark reaction.
4. Two products of the first stage of photosynthesis are ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate).
5. The second stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin Cycle, consists of several steps that occur repeatedly and are known as carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration.
6. ATP and NADPH play a crucial role in the second stage of photosynthesis by providing energy and reducing power for the production of glucose.
7. Photosynthesis is generally considered to be efficient, as it converts sunlight into chemical energy in a relatively efficient manner.
8. Other methods for organisms to use CO2 to make sugars include chemosynthesis in certain bacteria, which convert inorganic compounds into organic compounds using energy from chemical reactions, and artificial methods such as lab-based carbon capture and utilization.
