Photosynthesis can be divided into two stagesâthe light dependent reaction and the light independent (or dark) reactions. During the light reactions, an electron is stripped from a water molecule freeing the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The free oxygen atom combines with another free oxygen atom to produce oxygen gas which is then released.
Is the production of ATP in photosynthesis similar to the production of ATP in cellular respiration? Photosynthesis is often described as the reverse of cellular respiration. Respiration breaks down complex molecules to release energy that is used to make ATP. Photosynthesis takes energy from photons and uses it to build complex molecules. However both systems use an electron transport chain and associated proton pump and ATP synthase as a key part of the process.
