What are the steps of the light-dependent reactions? What are the steps of the light-independent reactions? What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Respuesta :

Light-dependent reactions of photoynthesis include steps:

1. Excitation of photosystemsby light energy

2. Production of ATP via an electron transport chain

3. Reduction of NADP+ and the photolysis of water



Light-independent reactions include steps:

1. Carboxylation of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)

2. Reduction of glycerate-3-phosphate

3. Regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate



The Chemical Equation of Photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2    

In the presence of sunlight
