The Light Reactions
How light energy is captured and converted into chemical energy.
Site of Photosynthesis
Occurs in the chloroplasts, which contain the pigment chlorophyll that absorbs light.
Light Reactions
Take place in the thylakoid membrane. Light energy is used to split water molecules (releasing oxygen) and to generate ATP and NADPH, the energy carriers used in the next stage.
