The synthesis by organisms of organic chemical compounds, especially carbohydrates, from carbon dioxide usingenergy obtained from light rather than from the oxidation of chemical compounds. Photosynthesis comprises twoseparate processes: the light reactions and the dark reactions. In higher plants; GREEN ALGAE; and CYANOBACTERIA; NADPH and ATP formed by the light reactions drive the dark reactions which result in thefixation of carbon dioxide.

What kind of reaction is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a Endergonic/Endothermic reaction.
Why photosynthesis called endothermic reaction?
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction because it takes energy (from sunlight) from the environment to use in the photosynthesis reaction. Without the energy input, the photosynthesis reaction could not occur.
Why is light reaction of photosynthesis essential for the dark reaction to proceed?
why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
Because it requires energy input what type of reaction is photosynthesis-?
Carbon dioxide is the reaction pf photosynthesis. This takes a lot of energy.
Is photosynthesis the chemical reaction that happens in a cell?
Yes, photosynthesis is a reaction typical for plants.
What is water roles in the light reaction of photosynthesis?
what is waters roles in the light reaction of photosynthesis
Is exothermic reaction an example of photosynthesis?
An exothermic reaction is a reaction where heat or light energy is released. An example of this type of reaction is burning a candle.
Is the chemical reaction of photosynthesis?
6CO2+6H2O+light energy-->C6H12O6+6O2 Chemical reaction of Photosynthesis
What are the two reaction phases in photosynthesis?
light reaction and dark reaction
Name a photolytic reaction that is not a decomposition reaction?
photosynthesis
Which is a reactanct for the photosynthesis reaction?
Reactants for photosynthesis are:WaterOxygenSugarsCarbon DioxideLight
What reaction reverses photosynthesis?
Cellular Respiration reverses photosynthesis.
