@Abhisar can you explain what there asking, are they asking me how photosynthesis works?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Is that your complete question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well there is an entire assigment but thats part of it and i don't understand it

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Actually they simply mean photosynthesis. Photosynthesis has two steps, the 1st is Light-dependent reaction in which ATPs and NADPs are synthesised using light and the other is Light-Independent reaction in which these ATPs are converted into glucose. The later process does not require light.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So you just forget whateva is written inside the bracket...just focus on photosynthesis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the problem is i don't know what the question is asking .... and i want to answer it in my own words

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I'll have to read the full question for that....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i'm just gonna send you the link

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I can't log in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i'm going to copy and paste it

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Generally, when someone says Photosynthesis, it includes both the steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what do you mean by steps do you mean NADP and ATP?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Yes, they are asking you that what happens to the carbon atom (of carbon-dioxide) in the photosynthesis. Now obviously nothing happens to the carbon atom in Light-dependent reaction...But we know that it is icorporated into glucose in the light-independent reaction.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Have you learned about Light-Independent reaction ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Beware, it's too detailed....
