Light Reaction

Light reaction – This reaction takes place in the thylakoid membrane which converts solar energy into chemical. The products of the light reactions are NADPH, ATP, and O2. The chlorophyll absorbs the light energy which transfers elections from water to NADP+ which creates NADPH. During these reactions, water is split which will then release O2. Chemiosmosis then changes ADP to ATP which is called photophosphorylation. The photo above represents the light reaction because the reaction provides ATP and NADPH in order to make glucose for the plant to produce glucose.
