Direct link to David's post “In an open environment, p...” In an open environment, probably not by any noticeable amount. However, if you put the plant in a sealed container such as a greenhouse and sit in the greenhouse for a while then the CO2 concentration will rise. So in a sealed container the answer is yes but just a plant sitting in your house or outside breathing on it won't make a huge difference. (49 votes) yildiz a year agoPosted a year ago.

Direct link to Forever Learner's post “the electron carrier for ...” the electron carrier for photosynthesis. NADH(without the P for photosynthesis :) ) is used in cellular respiration. They carry electrons to and fro and are subsequently oxidized or reduced. They need to carry the electrons because electrons are high charge substances (20 votes) fridavaleria 5 years agoPosted 5 years ago.

How can photosynthesis still occur without the chloroplasts in the leaves? Do they keep energy in storage to use during the season? • (5 votes) Tybalt 2 years agoPosted 2 years ago. Direct link to Tybalt's post “Deciduous trees store ene...” Deciduous trees store energy and resources within their bark, which can be used during the winter months when they have no leaves. Additionally, their physiological process change and slow down, as to not consume as much energy compared to the warmer months. It's a bit like hibernation for trees, where they stock up on resources and decrease energy consumption to make it through the winter. Does this help?

Direct link to 😋💖𝕂𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖💖😋's post “Calvin Cycle: ATP is used...” Calvin Cycle: ATP is used to create sugars that the plant will use to grow and live. My question is where does the ATP come from? Light-dependent reactions make ATP with the light energy, but the Calvin cycle seems to already have it so that it can convert into sugars... Does the Calvin cycle happen after the light-dependent reactions occurs or is the Calvin cycle independent? An example of my question: Does photosynthesis happen like this? LDR: Light energy + H2O = ATP + NADPH + O2 And then after that: Calvin Cycle: ATP + NADAPH + CO2 = sugar ? • (8 votes) Bhavyaa Cha 5 years agoPosted 5 years ago. Direct link to Bhavyaa Cha's post “The Calvin cycle is depen...” The Calvin cycle is dependent on the Light-dependent reactions, and almost in the same way Light-dependent reactions are dependent on "The Calvin Cycle". The "light-dependent reactions" receive light, and provide energy for the Calvin cycle. After used by the Calvin cycle, the molecules go back to the thylakoids to be reenergized in a way. So it is almost like a constant cycle between the two areas. For clarity refer to the diagram given above. (4 votes) khyler 3 years agoPosted 3 years ago.

CO2 is converted into glucose during the Calvin cycle, which is an anabolic pathway and therefore needs ATP to actually build up the molecules. (7 votes) Ryan Le 5 years agoPosted 5 years ago.

Then, after passing through, the used-up molecules react to bind together into ATP and NADPH again. (4 votes) asnaus01 a year agoPosted a year ago.

However, only one molecule of oxygen is hardly anything compared to actual air space; much, much more must be produced to actually make a difference. It will therefore continue producing a larger quantity. (7 votes) STALKER Last 6 years agoPosted 6 years ago.

Direct link to Haider Ali Bhatti's post “ATP itself is not compose...” ATP itself is not composed of sugar. When light energy is captured by the chloroplast, it, along with carbon dioxide and water, gets converted to ATP, NADPH, and oxygen (light-dependent reactions). The ATP and NADPH then enter the Calvin cycle and fuel the synthesis of molecules that eventually become sugar molecules. These sugar molecules can then be sent to the plant cell's mitochondrion to undergo cell respiration, which produces even more ATP that can be used to fuel the plant cell's many complex processes.

Evergreen trees (like the firs you see during Christmas time) have special adaptations to the cold that negate the need for this period of dormancy.
Sorry if I got some things wrong @~@
ATP is need to make sugar, BUT ATP is already compose of sugar. Where do this sugar come from?
Also, photosynthesis is light-dependent;(the first cycle is directly dependent on light energy, and the Calvin cycle is dependent on the first cycle. In fact, they both rely on each other to complete each individual cycle!) Think of a time when there is no light. Night! During that time, no oxygen, ATP, or NADPH is being made because a source of light energy is not available. However, a plant still has enough energy to survive because of cellular respiration, so it is not a problem.
In short, a plant does take a break from producing oxygen when the process of photosynthesis is not occurring.
