photosynthesis happens in algae green plants and


Photosynthesis happens in algae, green plants and photosynthetic bacteria. Its part is to catch solar energy and use this to drive the synthesis of carbohydrate from water and carbon dioxide. Whereas using (CH2O) to show carbohydrate, the whole reaction is:

Light

H2O+CO2→ (CH2O) +O2

Photosynthesis reactions happen in two distinct phases that are:

-  The light reactions: that use light energy to synthesize ATP and NADPH;

-  The dark reactions: which use the ATP and NADPH to synthesize carbohydrate from  CO2   and  H2O.  In fact, the word 'dark reactions' is a misnomer; this carbon-fixation reaction should actually be called as light-independent reactions.
