Alright, yesterday and today. In class, we had to go around the class to view other group's poster. Well, i was confused . Yet i've learnt something. Ms wang ask us to blog on 3 things we're confused and 5 things we have learnt from this.

1. What type of enzymes is used in dark stage?
2. So how do we know if we're using aerobic respiration or anaeriobic respiration?
3. What is ATP & NADPH ?

5 things we've learnt:

1. Aerobic respiration is what we use all the time.
2. Anaerobic respiration is used when we're lacked of oxygen. When we're excising.
3. Photosynthesis doesn't occurs only when there is the pressence of light.
4. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions.
5. In plants, during photosynthesis, electrons are removed from glucose and transferred to oxygen during cellular respiration.

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.Light reactions occur mostly in the thylakoid stacks of the grana. Here, sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP (free energy containing molecule) and NADPH (high energy electron carrying molecule). Chlorophyll absorbs light energy and starts a chain of steps that result in the production of ATP, NADPH, and oxygen (through the splitting of water). Oxygen is released through the stomata. Both ATP and NADPH are used in the dark reactions to produce sugar.Dark reactions occur in the stomata. Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar using ATP and NADPH. This process is known as carbon fixction or the Calvin cycle. Carbon dioxide is combined with a 5-carbon sugar creating a 6-carbon sugar. The 6-carbon sugar is eventually broken-down into two molecules, glucose and fructose. These two molecules make sucrose or sugar.
