Question

which events take place in the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
light energy is converted to sugars; sugars are broken down for energy.
light energy is captured by plants, light energy is used to make sugar.
light energy is converted to chemical energy; chemical energy is used to make sugar.
light energy is captured by plants, light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Explanation:

In the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis:

• Light energy is captured by chlorophyll (plants).
• Through a series of electron transport chains and chemiosmosis, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate).

Answer:

Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.
