Vernon is using the diagram shown below to develop a model of photosynthesis. The letters A, B, and C each represent a reactant or product of the process.Vernon wonders whether NADPH and ATP should be classified as reactants or as products of photosynthesis. How should these compounds be classified?
|
|
as reactants, because they are used up by photosynthesis
|
|
|
as products, because they are generated by photosynthesis
|
|
|
as either reactants or products, depending on the rate that photosynthesis occurs
|
|
|
as neither reactant nor product, because they are recycled instead of made or used up
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The different phases of photosynthesis are: Absorption of light, Transfer Of electrons, Production Of ATP, and Carbon Fixation. The formula of the process of photosynthesis can be written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vernon wonders whether NADPH and ATP should be classified as reactants or as products of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, light energy (sunlight) combines with the reactants-water and carbon dioxide-to form new products: glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
