1 Redox reactions may involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. 2  The reaction that occurs when In which I 2 is reduced to I-and S 2 O 3 2- (thiosulfate anion) is oxidized to S 4 O 6 2- provides an example of a redox reaction :
Hence in photosynthesis you have the light dependent reactions and the dark reactions while in respiration there is aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. In photosynthesis light dependent reactions, ultra violet light strikes chlorophyll pigments which excites electrons leading to separation of oxygen molecules from carbon dioxide. In the dark reactions, carbon molecules now independent of oxygen are converted into carbohydrates and stored in plant cells as energy and food source.
