FAQ About Indoor Plant Metabolic Processes

Photosynthesis in indoor plants occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. This process uses light energy, typically from sunlight or artificial grow lights, to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The process includes two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions). The light-dependent reactions capture the energy from light, which is then used in the Calvin cycle to synthesize glucose.
