Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a light-dependent reaction, water and sunlight is needed to make oxygen and ____
A
carbon dioxide
B
sugar
C
ATP
D
chlorophyll
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The light-dependent reaction takes place within the thylakoid membrane and requires a steady stream of sunlight, hence the name light-dependent reaction. The chlorophyll absorbs energy from the light waves, which is converted into chemical energy in the form of the molecules ATP and NADPH.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane. They require light, and their net effect is to convert water molecules into oxygen, while producing ATP molecules-from ADP and Pi-and NADPH molecules-via reduction of NADP+.
