Question

Which are the subproducts of the photochemical stage that are essential for the chemical stage of photosynthesis?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Photosynthesis is the process used by autotrophs such as plants, algae, and certain bacteria to produce energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.

The process of photosynthesis can be divided into the photochemical stage (light reactions), and the chemical stage.

The photochemical stage of the photosynthesis process occurs primarily on the thylakoids and the chemical stage occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts.
