Photosynthesis

• During carbon fixation, carbon dioxide from the air is converted into bicarbonate (HCO3−) inside the chloroplast.
• Atoms can be broken down into three subatomic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons
• Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus at the center of the atom
• Electrons are found in the outermost regions of the atom
• Atoms are neutral when the number of protons and electrons is equal
• The mass of an atom is determined by the mass of its protons and neutrons, which are called nucleons
• Electric charge is a fundamental electrical property that can be positive or negative
• Conductors allow electrons to flow freely from atom to atom, while insulators prevent the free flow of electrons
• Electrons surround the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge.
