Question
during the light - dependent reaction of photosynthesis, light energy is converted into which form of energy?
chemical
mechanical
thermal
electrical
During the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments. This energy is used to split water molecules (photolysis) and generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). ATP and NADPH are chemical energy carriers. Mechanical energy is related to movement, thermal energy is heat, and electrical energy is related to electron flow in a circuit (not the form stored in ATP/NADPH in this context).
