In a laboratory experiment, a plant receives sunlight and water, but not carbon dioxide. Predict what happens to the plant and construct an explanation for your prediction using what you know about the light-dependent and light-independent reactions.

Sagot :

Light dependent reactions oxidize water and make ATP and NADH in the process. This part of photosynthesis could continue to Occur in the aforementioned example. However, for the light independent reactions, carbon dioxide is needed as a reactant to make glucose , so the Calvin Cycle will not continue and the plant would die when it runs out of glucose.

A plant that receives sunlight and water but not carbon dioxide will not be able to produce carbohydrates

Photosynthesis

The process whereby light photosynthesized can broadly be divided into 2:

  • Light-dependent reactions
  • Light-independent reactions

The products from the light-dependent reactions are used to fix carbon dioxide into glucose in the light-independent reaction.

Thus, without carbon dioxide, the light-dependent reaction will take place normally while the light-independent reaction cannot because the major reactant is lacking.
