OBJECTIVES
Photosynthesis (Light Reaction). Production during photosynthesis How Light reaction (Hill reaction) takes place in chloroplast. Essential elements for photosynthesis

INTRODUCTION
Photosynthesis is the single most important physico-bio-chemical process of the world on which the existence of life on Earth depends.

DEFINITION
Photosynthesis can be defined as the formation of carbon containing compounds from carbon di oxide and water by illuminated green cells. Water and oxygen is being by product.

GREEN PLANTGREEN COLOR DUE TO CHLOROPLAST

GREEN PLANTS
Almost every plant has chlorophyll, so green colour is due to chlorophyll. Carbon di oxide,water and sun light are essential for photosynthesis.

TWO PHASES OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Light reaction(Hill-reaction)
(Photophosphorylation)

Dark-reaction(Calvin-cycle) (Carbon fixation path way)

KINDS OF PHOTOPHOSPHORYLATION
1.Cyclic photophosphorylation.

2. Noncyclic photophosphorylation.
