Purpose of Photosynthesis
To convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose).
Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Chlorophyll a is the pigment primarily responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis.
Light-Dependent Reactions
- The end products of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis are ATP and NADPH.
Purpose of Photosynthesis
- The primary purpose of photosynthesis in plants is to produce glucose, which is used as energy and building blocks for growth and development.
