Describe Photosynthetic Process
Given a plant or context:
- Identify the photosynthetic strategy (C3, C4, or CAM).
- Describe the light-dependent reactions: light absorption by chlorophyll, water splitting, ATP/NADPH production.
- Describe the Calvin cycle: carbon fixation, sugar production.
- Explain the stomatal trade-off relevant to the plant’s environment.
- Connect to the plant’s ecological role as primary producer.
