What absorbs energy in light reactions?
chloroplast
In what way is energy changed by reactions in a chloroplast?
it's react towards light. it transforms light energy to a chemical energy of photosynthesis. So this light energy is trapped by chlorophyll molecules and converted to chemical energy. dB!
Is carbon dioxide taken into the chloroplast during light dependent reactions?
No, carbon dioxide is not taken into the chloroplast during the light-dependent reactions. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Carbon dioxide is actually taken in during the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle or dark reactions, which occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
What are light independent and dependent reactions?
Light dependent reactions are reactions the capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy(ATP). It occur in the chloroplast of plant cells Light independent reactions are reactions capture energy and use it to produce food . It does not need sunlight
What part of the chloroplast do the storage of chemical energy in glucose molecules?
The storage of chemical energy in glucose molecules occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. This is where the Calvin cycle takes place, converting carbon dioxide and light energy into glucose through a series of chemical reactions.
Where do the light reactions happen?
the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts
What materials come into the chloroplast that used in the light dependent reactions?
The materials that enter the chloroplast for use in the light-dependent reactions include water molecules and light energy. Water is split into oxygen, protons, and electrons, while light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll to initiate the photosynthetic process.
How does light and dark reactions takes place?
The light dependent reaction occurs in the chloroplast. In the light dependent reaction, chlorophyll pigments absorb solar energy. This energy is then converted into a chemical form (not glucose). The water molecule is split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. The dark reaction or the carbon fixation period occurs in the fluid matrix or stroma of chloroplast. The hydrogen product from the first reaction is combined with the carbon dioxide molecules to makes sugars. This results in the C3 or C4 cycle.
Where in the chloroplast do light reactions occur?
Light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. Pigment molecules such as chlorophyll absorb light energy and transfer it to reaction center proteins, initiating a series of electron transfer reactions that generate ATP and NADPH as energy carriers for the Calvin cycle.
Where in the chloroplast are ATP and NADPH formed during the light reactions?
The light dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid of the chloroplast. ATP is formed in the ATP synthase protein by the assistance of the hydrogen gradient produced in the electron transport chain.
What organelle is responsible for converting light energy into glucose molecules?
The chloroplasts in plant cells take energy from the sun and in a series of reactions, stores it in glucose.
Part of chloroplast?
Thylakoid membranes are an essential part of chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur. They contain chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy to produce ATP and NADPH.
