Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
What is Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process of transforming water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic matter using light energy.
Chloroplast Structure
- Outer membrane
- Inner membrane
- Grana
- Intergrana lamellae
- Stroma
Light-Dependent Reactions
Light energy, via ATP and NADPH2, fuels the process. There are two types of photophosphorylation:
Cyclic Photophosphorylation
