A Level Biology Revision (Year 13) "Two Key Reactions in Photosynthesis"
Freesciencelessons・2 minutes read
Photosynthesis is a process in autotrophic organisms where light energy converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Light-dependent reactions produce ATP and reduced NADP, which the light-independent reactions then use to create glucose.
Insights
- Light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis produce ATP and reduced NADP, requiring light to function, while light-independent reactions use these products to create glucose without needing light.
- Without light, the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis cannot proceed due to the absence of ATP and reduced NADP generated by the light-dependent reactions.
