please help! Descriptions of the importance of each reactant and product in photosynthesis

Hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think photosynthesis has much to do with history.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

This might find a good place in biology?

i got 12 water molecules and 6 carbon dioxide molecules are the reactants. 6 oxygen molecules, 1 glucose molecule, and 6 water molecules are the products. Light dependent reaction happens at the thylakoid membrane, made up of lipid bilayers, which is conveniently located in the chloroplast -> Light-independent reaction (the Calvin-Benson Cycle) happens in the stroma -> creation of glucose molecule. That's a much abridged explanation of photosynthesis.. Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O 1 glucose molecule and 6 oxygen molecules are the reactants. 6 carbon dioxide molecules and 6 water molecules are the products. Glycolysis (glucose is broken down to 2 pyruvate molecules) happens in the cytoplasm -> Formation of Acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria-> Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle in the mitochondria-> Electron Transfer Phosphorylation in the mitochondrial cristae -> water and CO2 forms, oh joy. Net production of 36/38 ATP by the end of respiration, and ATP is very, very important when it comes to photosynthesis and respiration!
