Question

What are the 3 products of the light-dependent reactions?

Answer 1

Light reaction:

1. The light reaction is a light-dependent reaction.
2. It occurs in the chloroplast of the mesophyll cells of the leaves.
3. The chloroplasts is a double-membraned cell organelle that consists of stacked disc-like structures known as thylakoids.
4. Chlorophyll is required for the process and is present on the membrane of these thylakoids and this is where the light reaction occurs.
5. The light reaction is the first stage of the photosynthesis process in which solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
6. The three products of the light reaction of photosynthesis are ATP, NADPH, and O₂.
