Explain Well The Long Process Is Called Photosynthesis

Nancy started explaining about the process, “Well the long process is called photosynthesis. Lets talk about the interior of a plant cell first. Unlike animal cells, plant cells have chloroplasts. This absorbs light from sunlight and produces food for the plants,” said Nancy. Nancy grabbed a small branch with her beak and drew on the dirt to describe the chloroplast. “the interior of a chloroplast is a layered structure, containing the functions shown in this diagram.” showed Nancy. “Wow! so many functions. What do each of them do?” asked Eric. “The inner and outer membranes act as protective coverings and keep chloroplast structures enclosed. The intermembrane space performs nucleotide phosphorylation. Thylakoids serve as the sites of the conversion of light energy to chemical energy. Granums are dense layered stacks of thylakoid sacs that serve as the sites of conversion of light energy to chemical energy. The Stroma is a dense fluid within the chloroplast that lies outside the thylakoid membrane, it converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. The lamellae keeps all of the thylakoid sacs a safe distance from each other so there’s an efficient way to capture the Sun’s energy. Lumens are found in the

“Carbon dioxide is captured in a cycle of reactions known as the Calvin cycle, it diffuses into the stroma of chloroplasts and combines with a five-carbon sugar and RuBP. This catalyzed reaction produces a 6-carbon which decays almost immediately to form two molecules of the 3-carbon compound. Using chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis, they convert the sun's energy into ordered sugar molecules such as glucose. This way, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil in a bad state are combined to form a organized sugar molecule. In the last stage of the Calvin Cycle, RuBP is regenerated, which enables the system to prepare for more carbon dioxide to be fixed.” replied
