Question

How does photosynthisis happen

Answer 1

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process of creating sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. It happens through a long series of chemical reactions. But it can be summarized like this: Carbon dioxide, water, and light go in. Glucose, water, and oxygen come out. (Glucose is a simple sugar.)

Photosynthesis can be split into two processes. The “photo” part refers to reactions triggered by light. “Synthesis” — the making of the sugar — is a separate process called the Calvin cycle.

Both processes happen inside a chloroplast. This is a specialized structure, or organelle, in a plant cell. The structure contains stacks of membranes called thylakoid membranes. That’s where the light reaction begins.
