Where electrons get their energy in the light reactions?
.From photons in solar energy
What is reduced by electrons in light reactions?
In light reactions of photosynthesis, electrons are reduced by the pigment molecule chlorophyll to produce NADPH and ATP. These reduced molecules carry energy and electrons to the Calvin cycle for the synthesis of carbohydrates.
What does energy come from to make nadaph in light reactions?
From electrons in photosystem I that are excited to a higher energy state by photons of light. Then NADP + is reduced to become NADPH
What reactions convert light energy to chemical energy?
The light dependent reactions take in the light energy and convert that to chemical energy, but it is in the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions) where the chemical energy is stored in a complex sugar.
The light reactions of photosynthesis generate high-energy electrons which end up in The light reactions also produce and?
The high-energy electrons end up in the electron transport chain within the thylakoid membrane, where they help in the production of ATP and NADPH. Additionally, the light reactions also produce oxygen as a byproduct through the process of water splitting in photosystem II.
