Plants may increase chlorophyll production to enhance light absorption in low light conditions.

Plants adapt to low light conditions by increasing chlorophyll concentration to capture more light.

Plants use ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions to fuel the dark reactions (Calvin cycle).

Increased carbon dioxide concentration generally increases the rate of photosynthesis up to a point.

Photophosphorylation is the process of producing ATP using light energy during photosynthesis.

RUBISCO is the main enzyme that catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide in the dark reactions.

The Calvin cycle synthesizes glucose from carbon dioxide using the energy from ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions.

Accessory pigments capture additional light wavelengths, broadening the spectrum of light used for photosynthesis.

C4 and CAM pathways are adaptations that help plants reduce water loss during photosynthesis.

C4 and CAM plants enhance carbon fixation efficiency to minimize water loss in arid conditions.

Temperature can limit the rate of photosynthesis, as enzymes involved are temperature-sensitive.

Understanding photosynthesis can lead to methods for improving crop yields through better light utilization.

Chlorophyll a is the main pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis.

Water splitting occurs during the light reactions, producing oxygen and electrons.
