What is the main purpose of the light dependent reactions?
|
To provide the energy for the calvin cycle
|
|
To capture energy and make sugar
|
|
To reflect green light
|
|
To make sugars
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The overall purpose of the light-dependent reactions is to convert light energy into chemical energy. This chemical energy will be used by the Calvin cycle to fuel the assembly of sugar molecules. The light-dependent reactions begin in a grouping of pigment molecules and proteins called a photosystem .
Detailed explanation-2: -The goal of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is to collect energy from the sun and break down water molecules to produce ATP and NADPH. These two energy-storing molecules are then used in the light-independent reactions.
