Question

List the important events and end products of the light reaction?

Answer 1

Important events of light reaction :

● The light reaction involves the transfer of electrons from the photosystem to the electron carrier.

● The electrons are transported from the electron carrier to the electron transport system which leads to the formation of \(ATP\) and \(NADPH\).

● Splitting of water to form protons and oxygen gas.

● Formation of the proton gradient.

End products of light reaction :

Light reactions occur mainly to convert light energy from sunlight to chemical energy.

Hence, the end products are \(ATP\) and \(NADPH\)
