Why are light reactions required for the photosynthetic process?

Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy. The energy of light captured by pigment molecules, called chlorophylls, in chloroplasts is used to generate high-energy electrons with great reducing potential.


How do plants make sugar from the captured energy?

The Sun gives the energy that the plant needs to perform photosynthesis in the form of light. the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts become "exited" and start to move around in the presence of light. When in low light conditions, such as dawn the chloroplasts move towards the top of the palisade layer due to cytoplasmic streaming. this allows maximum amount of photosynthesis to be carried out. In high levels of light the chloroplasts move back down to the bottom of the palisade cell as chlorophyll are damaged by light.
