Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
where does the light dependent reaction occur
A
thylakoid membrane
B
stroma
C
grana
D
the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts and occur in the presence of sunlight. The sunlight is converted to chemical energy during these reactions. The chlorophyll in the plants absorb sunlight and transfers to the photosystem which are responsible for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The light reaction takes place in the thylakoid discs. There, water (H20) is oxidized, and oxygen (O2) is released. The electrons freed up from water are transfered to ATP and NADPH. The dark reaction occurs outside of the thylakoids.

Detailed explanation-3: -the thylakoid membrane, embedded in the stroma, encloses the aqueous lumen, which is the innermost compartment of the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. The light-dependent reactions release oxygen as a byproduct as water is broken apart.

Detailed explanation-5: -These reactions occur within specialised membrane discs within the chloroplast called thylakoids and involve three steps: Excitation of photosystems by light energy. Production of ATP via an electron transport chain.
