Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The light reactions occur in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and involve the splitting of water into oxygen, protons and electrons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the central energy conversion process for plant metabolism and occurs within mature chloroplasts.
Detailed explanation-3: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
