Question
Chapter 10.3, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The sequence of stoppage of photosynthetic electron transport and the Calvin cycle.
Introduction:
Photosynthesis depends on light as light is responsible for providing the required amount of energy to the plants. In the dark, photosynthesis stops as there are no photon particles available and as a result, the Calvin cycle also stops due to the lack of energy-rich molecules (ATP and NADPH).

- The reactions of the Calvin cycle are not directly dependent on light, and yet they usuallydo not occur at night. Why?arrow_forwardIn chapter 9 you were given the overall equation for respiration. In Chapter 10 you were given the overall equation for photosynthesis. It has been said that photosynthesis is the opposite of respiration. But is it really?
