They are also the link in the chain that goes from the energy from the sun and eventually goes to humans. Since humans cannot get food energy directly from the sun, we have to have plants that use photosynthesis to indirectly receive energy from the sun.]]> 2018-11-27 17:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308394607 94630 https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308397084 ATP works by losing the endmost phosphate group when told to do so by an enzyme. This action releases a lot of energy as the molecule bonds are being broken. ]]> 2018-11-27 17:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308397084 94630 https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308401004 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2]]> 2018-11-27 17:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308401004 94630 https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308402082 Light dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane in the chloroplast of a plant. In a light dependent reaction, the electrons from the water the plant absorbed are moved, eventually making the ATP and NADPH molecules. This process requires light energy to work. ]]> 2018-11-27 17:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308402082 94630 https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308408252 Calvin Cycle Reactions require no light, but they do require the products of the light dependent reaction, ATP and NADPH, as well as carbon, which plants get from carbon dioxide. The byproduct of this reaction is G3P. 6 turns of the Calvin Cycle are required to generate one molecule of glucose.]]> 2018-11-27 17:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308408252 94630 https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308923975 The intensity and color of the light that the plant absorbs affects the rate of photosynthesis, as well as the concentration of carbon dioxide and the temperature the plant is at. ]]> 2018-11-28 17:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/94630/n07bstolu0uw/wish/308923975
