PHOTOSYNTHESIS

The document outlines key questions and answers related to photosynthesis, detailing processes such as the light reactions, the Calvin cycle, and the roles of various components like ATP, NADPH, and chlorophyll. It emphasizes the importance of water and carbon dioxide in the production of glucose and oxygen, and describes the locations of these processes within the chloroplast. Additionally, it highlights the role of autotrophs in the biosphere and the mechanisms of energy conversion in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
