The reactions of photosynthesis consists of:
Correct answer: A. Two phases
- A. Two phases
- B. Four phases
- C. Three phases
- D. Many phases
Explanation
Option A is correct.The reactions of photosynthesis consist of two phases, the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.Light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. They use light energy to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen ions. The hydrogen ions are then used to produce ATP, a molecule that stores energy.Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts. It uses ATP and NADPH, the energy molecules produced in the light-dependent reactions, to fix carbon dioxide into glucose

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
