Photosynthesis Foldable Notes - 2016

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts and uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. It occurs in two stages: the light-dependent reaction in the thylakoids uses sunlight to split water, and the Calvin cycle in the stroma converts the energy to glucose without light. The overall equation is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2, with carbon dioxide and water as reactants producing glucose and oxygen.
