Photosynthesis review

A granum is a stack of thylakoid discs in the chloroplast of plant cells.

ATP and NADPH.

RuBisCO.

High energy sugars and oxygen.

Pigments in photosystem II absorb light.

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which provides the energy needed for photosynthesis.

Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

The Calvin Cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts, converting CO2 into glucose.

ATP provides the energy required for various biochemical reactions during photosynthesis.

NADPH acts as a reducing agent, providing the electrons needed for the reduction of carbon compounds in the Calvin Cycle.
