roducing oxygen and energy carriers. The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma, utilizing these carriers to synthesize sugars. Q3: Why is it important to know the inputs and outputs in a photosynthesis diagram? A: Recognizing inputs and outputs helps understand what molecules are con

f Photosynthesis Photosynthesis comprises two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle). Light-Dependent Reactions These reactions occur in the thylakoid mem
ays a crucial role in capturing light energy to excite electrons, initiating the light-dependent reactions. 2. Why is water split during photosynthesis? Water splitting provides electrons to replace those lost by chlorophyll during light absorption. It also releases oxygen as a byproduct, which d
