I am doing a lesson on photosynthesis. Hi ! My name is Alexis and I am a carbon atom. What do you think I do all day? Well lets talk about a couple things like photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis I travel through the _________________________ and _________________ reactions. While I was in the _______________, I saw the following _________________(this is when you go into details of the assignment and what is happening to your carbon atom. Please help me fill in the blanks. I believe the first blank is thylakoid, but I need help with the rest.

Alright, what reactions are present in photosynthesis? Hint: day and night. It's not what you said since they are reactions based on the word 'reactions' after the blank. Next, where does photosynthesis take place mostly?
light dependent reactions and light independent reactions ?
I would say that, yes, but maybe more of, light and dark reactions since I'm simple minded.
Thanks, Sebastian. I had to go for a few min.
It's totally fine :)
photosynthesis can occur in two places , it depends because there are two kinds of photosynthesis. if it is light reaction photosynthesis, it occurs in the thylakoid of the chloroplast. if it is dark reaction photosynthesis, it occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast.
So that is where I am confused ..
Yes, but they are at the same place that is...? Hint: You named the states. What is the country?
in the chloroplast.
I would say that, yes.
Thank you ! So for the last blank do I just describe what the photosynthesis is doing ?
What photosynthesis does to carbon specifically, yes :)
In photosynthesis, the carbon from carbon dioxide will react with H and O from water, forming C6H12O6.. ?
@wolfe8 is that right ?
To be honest, I forgot the details. This might help: http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/306carbon.html
