What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water provides electrons and protons for the light reactions and is split to release oxygen.

Front

What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle?

Back

To convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
