Helpppp... I need... Detailed descriptions of what happens to the carbon atom: during photosynthesis (the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions) transitioning between photosynthesis and respiration during cellular respiration or fermentation

So you need to know what happens? Did you not learn this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope i didn't... : /

Talk to your teacher about it? Or go through the lessons maybe? I can help you for now. But you need to contact your teacher if you're having trouble

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not i actually have I high B in this class I just nvr figured these out I guess

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

Alright, but still always contact a teacher if you're having trouble. Give me a moment

Light-dependent reaction The exergonic (energy-releasing) light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis convert light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH. These reactions occur in the grana (stacks of thylakoids) of the chloroplasts. The products of the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH, are both required for the endergonic (energy-requiring) light-independent reactions. Light-independent reaction The endergonic (energy-requiring) light-independent reactions of photosynthesis use the ATP and NADPH synthesized during the exergonic (energy-releasing) light-dependent reactions to provide the energy for the synthesis of glucose and other organic molecules from inorganic carbon dioxide and water. This is done by "fixing" carbon atoms from CO2 to the carbon skeletons of existing organic molecules. These reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts. Source(s): Light-dependent reaction: http://faculty.ccbcmd.edu/biotutorials/photosyn/ldr.html Light-independent reaction: http://faculty.ccbcmd.edu/biotutorials/photosyn/lindr.html I got this from another users post. But this'll help.
