i agree that spending too much time with numbers makes my brain hurt at times. i have started looking for codes in the bible b/c there have been books saying that the bible has different codes and i am curious. i’m not a christian or catholic and science often influences my beliefs a lot. some wiccans have rituals to worship nature, but i just enjoy being out in nature and exploring the different types of trees and flowers. i tend to combine science and spirituality together. this is my photosynthesis summary and how it relates to atp production. do you think i should add more details?
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a process by plants to convert sunlight into chemical energy that can be stored as carbohydrate molecules such as sugars to produce CO2 and water. The chemical equation of photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction since it absorbs the energy of sunlight to start the reaction. The photosynthesis equation is 6CO2 + 6H2O ——-> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Photosynthesis occurs when energy from light is absorbed in chloroplasts of plant leaves. In these reactions that depend on light (light-dependent reactions) some energy is used to take electrons from substances such as water to produce oxygen. The splitting of the water molecule frees the hydrogen to create NADPH (reduced form of NADP+) and ATP. In plants and algae, sugars are produced by a series of light-independent reactions called the Calvin Cycle. In the Calvin Cycle, carbon dioxide is included into already existing carbon compounds. Using the ATP and the NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions, the compounds are reduced to form carbohydrates such as glucose.
