Chemical Equation:
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants (photosynthetic organisms) take in heat energy (light) and convert it into chemical energy (glucose).
Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast (a cell organelle), chlorophyll is the the green pigment that captures the light (How to remember: Chloro-Fill fill up with light).
More to know:
Light Reaction (Light Dependent)
The first stage of photosynthesis occurs in the presence of light. The captured light energy drives the production of ATP. ATP is a cells energy currency. REQUIRES LIGHT!
Dark Reaction (Calvin Cycle) DOES NOT REQUIRE LIGHT
This stage is called dark reaction (Calvin Cycle)
A series of chemical reactions that occur in the stroma.
