Where does the light independent reaction occur

The light independent reaction occurs in the stroma

Co2 reacts with ribulose bisphosphate to form two molecules of glycerol 3 phosphate a 3 carbon compound. This reaction is catalysed by the enzyme rubisco

GP is reduced to triose phosphate using energy from ATP and by accepting a H from reduced NADPH. Some of the carbon from TP leaves the cycle each turn to be converted to a useful substance

The rest of the molecule is used to regenerate RUBP with the energy from ATP

This produces glucose however monosacharides can join to form diasacharides such as sucrose and polysacharides such as sucrose and starch. This can be converted into glycerol and combine with lipids and fatty acids for the plant.

3 limiting factors for photosynthesis

CO2 concentration Tempreature Light intensity

What sort of practices do agricultural places use to remove limiting factors for photosynthesis

Growing plants under artificial lighting to maximise light intensity. Heating a green house gas to increase temperature and burning fuel to release more co2

Light independent reaction

Term	Definition
Where does the light independent reaction occur	The light independent reaction occurs in the stroma
1st step	Co2 reacts with ribulose bisphosphate to form two molecules of glycerol 3 phosphate a 3 carbon compound. This reaction is catalysed by the enzyme rubisco
2nd step	GP is reduced to triose phosphate using energy from ATP and by accepting a H from reduced NADPH. Some of the carbon from TP leaves the cycle each turn to be converted to a useful substance
3rd step	The rest of the molecule is used to regenerate RUBP with the energy from ATP
4th step	This produces glucose however monosacharides can join to form diasacharides such as sucrose and polysacharides such as sucrose and starch. This can be converted into glycerol and combine with lipids and fatty acids for the plant.
3 limiting factors for photosynthesis	CO2 concentration Tempreature Light intensity
What sort of practices do agricultural places use to remove limiting factors for photosynthesis	Growing plants under artificial lighting to maximise light intensity. Heating a green house gas to increase temperature and burning fuel to release more co2
