The splitting of water in stage 1.
What else can I help you with?
What is the first phase of photosynthesis?
The first phase of photosynthesis is the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In this phase, light energy is captured and used to split water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons.
What is the main characteristics of the first stage of photosynthesis?
The main characteristic of the first stage of photosynthesis, called the light-dependent reactions, is that it takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. During this stage, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are used in the next stage of photosynthesis to produce glucose.
In photosynthesis the source of electrons is?
The electrons come from water. In the light dependent stage water is split into hydrogen ions (H+), electrons and oxygen. The electrons are passed on to chlorophyll, the H+ ions combine with NADP to form NADPH and the oxygen is released.
Where do the hydrogen atoms in glucose come from?
The hydrogen atoms in glucose come from water molecules during photosynthesis. During this process, plants take in carbon dioxide and water, and through a series of reactions, convert them into glucose and oxygen. The hydrogen atoms from water molecules are incorporated into the glucose molecule.
What products of the light reaction are used in the light independent stage of photosynthesis?
NADPH and ATP
Why is water used in photosynthesis?
Water is used in photosynthesis because it provides the hydrogen atoms needed to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, the main source of energy for plants.
What gas is required to start stage 3 of photosynthesis?
Oxygen is used where as in photo-respiration Carbon dioxide is used. Oxygen used in photosynthesis comes out as carbon dioxide as a bi-product.
How energy and hydrogen sequestered in the light reactions of photosynthesis are used to drive the dark reactions of photosynthesis?
You should ask Mr. Newberry. Hahaha
How does water contribute to the process of photosynthesis?
Water plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by providing the necessary hydrogen atoms for the production of glucose. During photosynthesis, water molecules are split into oxygen and hydrogen ions. The hydrogen ions are then used to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose, which is the main source of energy for plants.
What part of the water molecule is used during photosynthesis?
The hydrogen atoms in the water molecule are used during photosynthesis. Water molecules are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons during the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis.
What is it called when light energy from the sun is captured and used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen?
Photosynthesis.
Where does the water go from photosynthesis?
The water used in photosynthesis is split into oxygen and hydrogen ions. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere, while the hydrogen ions are used to produce energy in the form of ATP and NADPH that the plant can use to make glucose.
