What happens to water durning photosynthesis? Where in the chloroplast does this occur?

Answer 1

Basically it is converted into sugar. Here is the formula 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) C6H12O6 + 6O2. The process within the chloroplast that this occurs is the Calvin cycle in which ATP and NADPH are used to convert the carbon dioxide and water into the sugar. The ATP comes from the conversion of the light's energy from a prior step outside the chloroplast. The actual location that this occurs is the thylakiods which are stacked up (similar to pancakes) into a structure called grana (one stack is a granum)

Answer 2

Specifically, the water is split during the light reactions, and thus contributes excited electrons, and protons
