Document Summary

Photosynthesis is probably the single most important process on earth. It is the only process that can harvest the energy of the sun. Photosynthesis literally means to make something using light . It is the conversion of light energy to chemical energy stored in the bonds of carbohydrates and consists of two linked sets of reactions. The first set of reactions (the light reactions) is initiated by light, and the second set (the. Calvin cycle) requires products of the light capturing reactions. The light capturing reactions produce oxygen and energy from water and light and the calvin cycle produces sugars from carbon dioxide. Similar to waves of water or airwaves, electromagnetic radiation characterized by its wavelength the distance between two successive wave the crests. The wavelength determines the type of electromagnetic radiation. The visible light spectrum that humans can see is from is about 400-710nm.
