Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three main types of photosynthesis are C3, C4, and CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism). In college I had to memorize some of their pathways and mechanisms, but I will highlight what gives one an advantage over another and what types of crops, forages, and weeds have specialized C3 and C4 photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The light reaction is the first stage of the photosynthesis process in which solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The three products of the light reaction of photosynthesis are ATP, NADPH, and O2.
Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).
