What must happen in the reactions that make up photosynthesis for energy to be stored in the form of glucose?

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

Would you like me to explain in detail what happens in photosynthesis, or do you already know?

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

I am aware of the reactions that make up photosynthesis I just don't understand it enough to explain it and explain the answer to the question.

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

I have a friend who is really good at explaining it, let me tag her @Jamierox4ev3r

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

@Jamierox4ev3r can you please help a girl out? This is why I hate biology.

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

WAIT I GOT THE ANSWER

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

wOOoohOOOO

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

For sure :) So this process mostly happens in the Light-Independent Reactions, or the "Calvin Cycle." |dw:1479078436602:dw| This diagram may be a lot to follow, but the input of Carbon Dioxide and ATP/NADPH really get the reaction going.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

So basically, the products of the ETC (Electron Transport Chain) that occurred earlier, along with \(CO_2\) really aid in this process.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

I know you already got your answer @kyleighg but I hope this helped to perhaps solidify your understanding a little bit :)

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

thank you! I dont understand how you are so smart at this
