Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main energy carrier produced during the light reactions?
Correct Answer: ATP
  • Step 1: Understand that photosynthesis has two main stages: light reactions and dark reactions.
  • Step 2: Know that light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts when sunlight is absorbed.
  • Step 3: Recognize that during light reactions, sunlight energy is used to split water molecules.
  • Step 4: Learn that this process generates energy-rich molecules.
  • Step 5: Identify that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is one of the main energy carriers produced during these light reactions.
