Name two molecules that are produced during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis and serve as temporary sites for energy storage.
All electrons contain the same amount of energy.
Name the molecule that is taken from the air and that provides the carbon for the production of carbohydrates during the Calvin cycle. Summarize, in one sentence, what happens during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Summarize, in one sentence, what happens during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis. The oxygen atoms are removed from water as the water is broken down during the light reactions. At this point, oxygen is of no value to the system and, consequently, is released from the chloroplast and from the leaf into the surrounding air.
