Molecule | Reaction involved |
Purpose |
Photon | It involves in light reaction. It provides light to reaction | Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b absorbs light from the photon. Chlorophyll in P680 (ps II) absorbs a photon. It becomes excited and is a strong oxidizing agent and loses electrons. |
H2O | It involves in the photosynthesis reaction. It produces Glucose and oxyegen. | It gives the electron to eletron transport chain reaction. |
CO2 | It also involved in photosynthesis reaction 6 molecules of CO2 and 6 molecules of O2 produces glucose molecule and oxyegen as byproduct. | 6 CO2 molecules enters into calvin cycle and produces glucose molecule. |
ATP | Involved in Calvin cycle | To produce glucose |
NADPH | Electron transport chain | electrons come from coenzymes NADH and FADH2 |
