Light energy+CO2+H20=C6 H12 06+02 (the equation for photosynthesis)

Construct an explanation to describe the cycling of matter and energy that occurs during photosynthesis. Use the chemical equation to provide evidence.

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which photosynthetic organisms transform light energy into chemical energyPhotosynthesis is an oxidative reductive metabolic pathway in which water is oxidized and carbon dioxide is reduced to carbohydrates Light reaction of photosynthesis is concerned with light dependent oxidation of water and synthesis of high energy compounds such as ATP and NADPHAll proteins and cofactors which involves in light reaction are present in thylakoid membrane hence light reaction of photosynthesis completed in thylakoid membrane Transfer of electron and protons in thylakoid membrane is carried out by four protein complexes and two mobile electron carriers Oxidation of one water molecule generates two electrons, two protons and one atom of oxygen Transfer of one electron from Photosystem II (PSII) to Photosystem I (PSI) requires one photon and transfer of one electron from PSI to NADP+ requires one photon, thus transfer of two electrons from PSII to NADP+ requires four photonsFlow of two electrons from cytochrome b6f complex drives transportation of four protons from stroma to lumenThus oxidation of one water molecule establish gradient of 6 H+, gradient of 6 H+ drives synthesis of 2 ATPReduction of 1 NADP+ to  NADPH  requires two electrons, thus oxidation of one eater molecule generates 1 NADPH
