2. Calvin cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_cycle

   The Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions, bio synthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction (PCR) cycle [1] of photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carrier compounds into glucose. The Calvin cycle is present in all photosynthetic eukaryotes and also many ...

3. Hill reaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_reaction

   The evolution of oxygen during the light-dependent steps in photosynthesis (Hill reaction) was proposed and proven by British biochemist Robin Hill. He demonstrated that isolated chloroplasts would make oxygen (O 2) but not fix carbon dioxide (CO 2). This is evidence that the light and dark reactions occur at different sites within the cell. [1 ...

4. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

   Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the hydrogen carrier NADPH and the energy-storage molecule ATP. During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to capture and reduce carbon dioxide.

5. Stroma (fluid) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroma_(fluid)

   Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH . During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to fix carbon by capturing and reducing carbon dioxide .

6. Light-dependent reactions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dependent_reactions

   Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane. Light-dependent reactions are certain photochemical reactions involved in photosynthesis, the main process by which plants acquire energy. There are two light dependent reactions: the first occurs at photosystem II (PSII) and the second occurs at photosystem I (PSI).

7. Fractionation of carbon isotopes in oxygenic photosynthesis

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionation_of_carbon...

   The overall equation for the light-dependent reactions is generally: [11] Overview of the Calvin cycle and carbon fixation C3 Pathway. 2 H 2 O + 2 NADP + + 3 ADP + 3 P i + light → 2 NADPH + 2 H + + 3 ATP + O 2. The light-independent reactions undergo the Calvin-Benson cycle, in which the energy from NADPH and ATP is used to convert carbon ...

8. Thylakoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylakoid

   The thylakoids are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These include light-driven water oxidation and oxygen evolution, the pumping of protons across the thylakoid membranes coupled with the electron transport chain of the photosystems and cytochrome complex, and ATP synthesis by the ATP synthase utilizing the generated ...

9. Photophosphorylation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photophosphorylation

   This word is taken from two Greek words, photos, which means light, and synthesis, which in chemistry means making a substance by combining simpler substances. So, in the presence of light, synthesis of food is called 'photosynthesis'. Noncyclic photophosphorylation through light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane.
