Document Summary

That is exactly the reverse for that of respiration: C6h12o6 + 6 o2 6 co2 + 6 h2o. The photosynthesis reaction takes place in the chloroplast (make the leaf green). A thylakoid is a membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts, that is where all the enzyme complex sits, that drive photosynthesis and capture light energy. In plants, cells that photosynthesize typically have 40-50 chloroplasts (per cell) Plants are unique since they can generate all the energy (sugars) by themselves without resorting to anyone else autotrophs. The only thing they need is nh3 otherwise they can fix the carbon, so they can convert. They can do everything else metabolically by themselves. In the chloroplast, 1st the light reactions take place, this is where the light energy is captured in the thylakoid. This is where all the atps is made and a lot of nadph. And then they are the dark reactions, they are called the co2 fixation reaction or.
