Photosynthesis Notes PDF

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants convert sunlight into chemical energy, represented by the equation 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. It consists of light-dependent reactions that produce ATP and NADPH, and the Calvin Cycle that converts CO₂ into glucose. Key components include chlorophyll, which captures light, and chloroplasts, where the process occurs, making photosynthesis crucial for oxygen production and the foundation of food chains.

Photosynthesis

Definition:​
Process by which green plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.

Equation:​
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Steps:

1.​ Light-dependent Reactions (in thylakoids)​

○​ Requires sunlight.​

○​ Produces ATP and NADPH.​

2.​ Calvin Cycle (in stroma)​

○​ Uses ATP/NADPH to convert CO₂ into glucose.​

Key Components:

●​ Chlorophyll: Pigment that captures light.​

●​ Chloroplast: Organelle where photosynthesis occurs.​

Importance:

●​ Produces oxygen.​

●​ Basis of food chains.​
