Chapter 21.1, Problem 21.2CIAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The purpose of light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis should be given.

Concept Introduction:

Photosynthesis: Plants adopt photosynthesis for production of needed molecules to accomplish growth. They use energy from sun in order to complete reaction between carbon dioxide and water which results in glucose production. It is endergonic reaction since it requires energy for production of glucose ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$.

Chlorophyll: The green color of plants is due to presence of chlorophyll pigment which helps in capturing sunlight for energy production.

Adenosine triphosphate ATP: The main job of ATP is to store energy and release it when cell is in need of energy.
