NADPH
The function of chloroplasts is to conduct photosynthesis, a process in which they capture sunlight and convert it into energy-rich molecules such as glucose. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy, and various enzymes that facilitate the chemical reactions of photosynthesis. This organelle is found in plant cells and some algae.
No, the speed of light is a fundamental constant in physics and does not contain air or any other material substance within it. It is the speed at which light travels in a vacuum.
Photosynthesis consists of light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. These light reactions occur within the chloroplast thylakoids, where the aforementioned chlorophyll pigments are found.
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
They are ATP and NADH. They are energy carrying molecules.

No, combustion reactions typically release energy in the form of heat and light. They are exothermic reactions that involve the rapid oxidation of a substance, usually with oxygen as the reactant.
True. When light is absorbed by a substance, the light energy is converted into stored energy within the molecules of the substance. This stored energy can then be used for various processes such as chemical reactions or heat production.
The light reactions of photosynthesis produce ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) to convert carbon dioxide into sugars. The ATP and NADPH generated in the light reactions provide the energy and reducing power needed for the dark reactions to occur. In this way, the two sets of reactions are interdependent and work together to sustain the overall process of photosynthesis.
One substance that can cause sensitivity to light is psoralen, which is used in some medications and can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. This can lead to an increased risk of sunburn and other skin reactions when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
Combustion reactions involve the rapid combination of a substance with oxygen, resulting in the release of energy in the form of heat and light. During combustion, the substance being oxidized loses electrons, which is characteristic of oxidation reactions. Therefore, combustion reactions are considered oxidation reactions because they involve the transfer of electrons to oxygen.
They are ATP and NADH. They are energy carrying molecules.
