Best Answer

The light-dependent reactions, or light reactions, are the first stage of photosynthesis. In this process light energy is converted into chemical energy, in the form of the energy-carriers ATP and NADPH. In the light-independent reactions, the formed NADPH and ATP drive the reduction of CO2 to more useful organic compounds, such as glucose.

The light reaction stage of photosynthesis. Photons of light are used to free electrons from chlorophyll in order to furnish the H+ gradient needed for ATP production in chemiosmosis.
