Question

What are principal events that occur during photosynthesis

Answer 1

There r 3 events that occur during photosynthesis

1 absorption of light energy by chlorophyll

2 conversion of light energy into chemical energy and splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen

3 Reduction of CO2 into carbohydrates

Answer 2

ANSWER:::. #LORDCARBIN

THE MAIN EVENTS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS (ordinary level)

1. Light is absorbed by the leaf’s chloroplasts.

2. The light energy is used to split watermolecules.

3. The break up of water releases oxygen,electrons and protons (H+, H ions)

a. The electrons go to the chlorophyll.

b. The protons are stored in the chloroplast.

c. The oxygen passes from the chloroplast. Some will be used by the mitochondria for aerobic respiration and theremainder will be passed into the atmosphere.

4. Some of thelight energy is carried to the chlorophyll to form high energy electrons.

5. The highenergy electrons and the stored protons combine with carbon dioxide to formglucose. (C6H12O6)
