ANSWER

6CO2+6H2O+light→C6H12O6+6O26 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{light} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2. Converts light energy, water, and CO2\text{CO}_2 into glucose and oxygen.

Practice questions

1 of 36Practice questions for this set
In a controlled chamber, a plant is kept in constant bright light while CO2 concentration is rapidly decreased. The light reactions continue to generate ATP and NADPH, but the Calvin cycle requires CO2 to incorporate carbon into organic molecules. Which change is most likely in chloroplast metabolite levels shortly after CO2 decreases?
