Question

which parts of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the grana? check all that apply. the suns energy is captured. carbon dioxide is used to build sugars. oxygen is produced. energy is transferred to atp. done which parts of photosynthesis occur in the stroma of the chloroplast? check all that apply. the suns energy is captured. carbon dioxide is used to build sugars. oxygen is produced. energy is transferred to atp. done

Explanation:

• Thylakoid membranes (grana):
• In the light - dependent reactions (which occur in the thylakoid membranes), chlorophyll (and other pigments) capture the Sun's energy.
• Water is split during the light - dependent reactions, and oxygen is produced as a by - product.
• The energy from the Sun is used to convert ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate (\(P_i\)) into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through processes like photophosphorylation.
• Stroma:
• The Calvin cycle (light - independent reactions) occurs in the stroma. In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) is fixed and used to build sugars (such as glucose) through a series of enzyme - catalyzed reactions.

Answer:

• Thylakoid membranes (grana):
• The Sun’s energy is captured.
• Oxygen is produced.
• Energy is transferred to ATP.
• Stroma:
• Carbon dioxide is used to build sugars.
