Get a hold a grade 10 science textbook. The process of photosynthesis is explained there.

From what I remember, photosynthesis occurs in two phases: light reaction and dark reaction.

I think the light reaction can't occur because you need electron transport chains (or something like that) in this step.


Check the textbook. The answer will be there deinately.


Hope this helps

Photosynthesis requires the presence of various enzymes and also energy in the form of ATP, these factors cannot be provided in the laboratory

The formation of glucose from carbon dioxide and water in presence of chlorophyl and sunlight though many times shown as a simple reaction is not that simple. The process is quite complicated. The plants have the necessary machine and mechanism to syntheses starch ( glucose ). If you go through the process of photosynthesis from any book on physiology in botany you will understand that the process is not simple as it actually appears.

easy done
1.)photosyntheses requires sunlight means actual sunlight which can active or increases catalytic capabilities of enzymes otherwise glucose will not be formed.

Well, Photosynthesis incorporates     


1) Light Reaction     2) Dark Reaction                                                                                                                                 


1)  Light Reaction   ------


                              (i) PSII( Reaction centre P680 )     (ii) PSI ( Reaction Centre P700 )


It begins with light harvesting zone which utilizes the incident solar radiation for photolysis of water molecule to excite the Reaction centre of  PSII i.e. P680 to lend 4e- to the series of  following complex reactions.


PSII --->  P680*----> Phaeophytin----> Plastoquinone -----> Cyt b6-f complex ----> Plsto Cyanin ----> PSI(P700)


----> P700* ----> A[Fe-S] complex ----> Ferredoxin-----> 2NADP+-----> 2NADPH2.


SINCE  Phaeophytin   ,     PQ      ,      Cyt b6-f complex       ,    PC    ,       A[Fe-S] complex     ,       Ferredoxin  and other such complexes cannot be made available in laboratory it is impossible to carry out process of photosynthesis in Lab.

i think some scientist peformed photosynthesis in lab using chloroplasts from stelleria media in lab.. he used ferradoxin or such oxidizing agents......

size doesnt matter, brains do...
