    The document discusses photosynthesis. It occurs in chloroplasts, which contain structures called grana that trap light using chlorophyll. The light reaction uses energy from chlorophyll to split water molecules, producing hydrogen ions and electrons. The dark reaction uses these hydrogen ions to fix carbon dioxide into glucose, using a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The overall reaction reduces carbon dioxide into glucose, which then condenses into starch temporarily stored in chloroplast granules.

    Photosynthesis occurs at chloroplast. Chloroplast contain
    membranous structures which are pilled up into stacks called
    grana.

      


    à mrana contain the light trapping pigment clorophyll.
    à mrana are embedded in a stroma.

    Chlorophyll captures light energy which excites electrons of chlorophyll
    to higher energy levels. Electrons can also leave the chlorophyll
    molecules. Light energy is also used to split the water molecules into
    hydrogen ion (H+) and hydroxyl ions (OH-). This reaction known as
    photolysis of water. The hydrogen ions combine with the electrons
    released by chlorophyll to form hydrogen atoms.

    During dark reaction, the hydrogen atoms are used to


    fix carbon dioxide in a series of reaction catalysed by
    photosynthesis enzymes.

    Overall reaction results in the reduction of carbon


    dioxide into glucose:

    The glucose monomers undergo condensation to
    form starch which is temporarily stored as starch
    granules in the chloroplasts.
