Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy in the form of glucose. It occurs in two stages - the light-dependent reactions where sunlight is absorbed and its energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) where carbon dioxide is incorporated into organic compounds to form glucose. Chlorophyll, located in chloroplasts, plays a key role in absorbing sunlight to drive the process. Photosynthesis provides a critical source of food and oxygen for living organisms.

2.  Process by which
plants and some other
organisms use light
energy to convert
water and carbon
dioxide into oxygen
and high energy
carbohydrates as
sugars and starches.
It also occurs in the
plant, algae and many
species of bacteria.

3. The project that I choose is photosynthesis
and the reason why I choose this project
was because it really interested me on how
photosynthesis works and how is
photosynthesis useful for use as humans
and as plants

4.  Photosynthesis takes place in the
chloroplast and in the chlorophyII
 ChlorophyII is what gives the leafs the
color they are
 Also photosynthesis has 2 parts to it:
-- light dependent reaction
-- light independent reactions

5. The light-dependent reactions
is the first stage of
photosynthesis. This process
capture and store energy from
sunlight and light energy is
converted into chemical
energy and this energy is in the
form of a molecule. The light-
dependent reactions take
place in the inside a
chloroplast. Chloroplast are
organelle that convert light to
energy. This energy released by
the molecules is called
adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

6.  The light-independent
reactions of photosynthesis
are chemical reactions that
convert carbon dioxide and
other compounds into
glucose. The energy
released from ATP drives this
metabolic pathway. It is
described to be light-
independent as it proceeds
regardless of the amount of
light available. The term is
used in contrast to light-
dependent reaction of
photosynthesis.

7. first of all plants are
important to the life
because that’s some
where animals and
humans get oxygen
from. Photosynthesis is
the one that give plants
with food and energy.
Animals are the ones
that eat the plant. For
humans we breathe in
oxygen and we exhale
carbon dioxide.

8. The formula is :
6CO +6H O 2 2
C H O +60
6 12 6 2

9. This is a picture of the Calvin cycle
THIS IS HOW THE CALVIN CYCLE IS WORKING AND HOW IT ENDS UP BY GLUCOSE
