8 Questions
What are the thylakoids of chloroplasts responsible for?
keeping positive and negative charges generated by light absorption on opposite sides of the membrane.
What is the main function of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?
converting ADP and NADP+ into ATP and NADPH using energy from sunlight.
What is the by-product of the light-dependent reactions?
oxygen (O2).
Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?
in the thylakoids of chloroplasts.
What are photosystems composed of?
chlorophyll and proteins.
What is the role of chlorophyll in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll molecules absorb sunlight and generate high-energy electrons.
What is the purpose of the electron carriers in the light-dependent reactions?
The electron carriers transport high-energy electrons to facilitate ATP and NADPH production.
What is the function of the thylakoids in the light-dependent reactions?
Thylakoids keep positive and negative charges separate, allowing for the generation of ATP and NADPH.
