INTRODUCTION “Photosynthesis is a complex chemical process that converts radiant energy (light) into chemical energy (sugar) (Vodopich, Moore 1996)”. Basically, we can divide photosynthesis into two parts: light reactions and dark reactions. Dark reactions use the ATP created by light reactions. When light hits the leaves in plants, full with chlorophyll, molecules of water are split into hydrogen and oxygen. Electrons are then passed down and, while this is happening, energy is lost and captured by the ATP. One side of the thylakoid membrane becomes more negatively energized than its outside and as a balancing of energy is occurring more energy is produced. T
