Question

In tropical plants like maize and sugarcane during light independent reaction ​

Answer 1

The photosynthetic process consists of two

couple reaction. The first, called photochemical phase, refers to the reactions related to light

capture, electron transport and the formation

of reducing power (i.e. NADPH and ATP). The

second phase is the biochemical, where carbon

dioxide (CO2

) is captured and transformed into

compounds that link carbon atoms together and

therefore retain the energy absorbed by the light

reaction (BUCKERIDGE et al., 2008). In the

photochemical reactions, the light captured by

leaves is capable to provoke changes in chlorophyll molecules present in the chloroplasts and

these changes start the transportation of electrons
