Light Dependent Reactions Lab Report

186 Words1 Pages
Light-dependent reactions only occur within the presence of light, so when there is light the solar energy is converted to chemical energy in form of ATP and NADP molecules. During the light-independent reaction, this step will involve carbon atoms. During this, oxygen is being released, this is the only step involving carbon atoms in this stage. The light-dependent reactions begin in the thylakoids of a chloroplast. First, chlorophyll molecules will take in sunlight which releases high-energy electrons. These electrons will then pass through electron transport chains and the proteins within the electrons use the energy to pump hydrogen ions into the surrounding stroma. Through diffusion, which is when molecules go from a area of high
