Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water.

- Aka The Calvin Cycle
A photon of light energy travels until it reaches a molecule of chlorophyll. The photon causes an electron in the chlorophyll to become “excited.” The energy given to the electron allows it to break free from an atom of the chlorophyll molecule.
3 gru 2015 · The photolysis of water is about storing the energy coming from the photons (light) in ATP and NADPH. In the Calvin cycle the cells use the stored energy to reduce CO2 into carbohydrates. For instance glucose can be delivered to the cells in the root, which can use it as food.
3 kwi 2017 · In photosystem II (PSII), the energy of four photons (4 hv) of light is used by the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) to drive the splitting of two water molecules to produce dioxygen and four ...
A photon strikes photosystem II to initiate photosynthesis. Energy travels through the electron transport chain, which pumps hydrogen ions into the thylakoid space. This forms an electrochemical gradient.
28 paź 2020 · When a photon of light from the sun bounces into a leaf, its energy excites a chlorophyll molecule. That photon starts a process that splits a molecule of water. The oxygen atom that splits off from the water instantly bonds with another, creating a molecule of oxygen, or O 2 .
