Answer:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Step 1-Light Dependent

CO2 and H2O enter the leaf.

Step 2- Light Dependent

Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2.

Step 3- Light Dependent

The electrons move down to enzymes.

Step 4-Light Dependent

Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH.

Step 5-Light independent

The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.

Step 6-Light independent

The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose

calvin cycle:

The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions), involving atmospheric CO2 fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate.
