PHOTOSYNTHESIS

LIGHT DEPENDENT REACTIONS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
It is the first of two stages in the process of photosynthesis. During the light reactions, photosystem II and photosystem I absorb light energy and produce ATP, NADPH, and O2
A
Light Dependent Reaction
B
Light Independent Reaction
C
Cellular Respiration
D
Glycolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two main stages of photosynthesis: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -While there are many steps behind the process of photosynthesis, it can be broken down into two major stages: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. During the first stage, the energy from sunlight is absorbed by the chloroplast. Water is used, and oxygen is produced during this part of the process. During the second stage, carbon dioxide is used, and glucose is produced.

Detailed explanation-4: -Light dependent reaction involves four important stages – absorption of light energy, splitting of water molecules, release of oxygen, formation of energy carrying molecules – ATP and NADPH.
