Summary Introduction
To review:
The relationship between the light and the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
Introduction:
Photosynthesis is a physiological process that includes the conversion of the light energy into the chemical energy, which occurs in plants and some other organisms. This energy is required by the plants and organisms for their

- Melvin Calvin and Andrew Benson determined the steps in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis by exposing the green alga Chlorella to CO2 labeled with the radioisotope carbon 14. By looking at which compounds the C14 ended up in, they were able to identify all intermediates in this cyclic pathway. Why did they predict correctly that the same set of intermediates would be formed in the light reaction in land plants?arrow_forwardWhat color of light is least effective in driving photosynthesis?arrow_forwardWhat happens during the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?arrow_forward
