| The light-dependent reactions produce intermediate compounds that are used in the light-independent reactions. |
|
| The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of the grana within chloroplasts. |
|
| In simplest terms, the function of the light-dependent reactions is to produce energy and protons for the light-independent reactions. |
|
| The light-dependent reactions begin as chlorophyll captures light energy, which causes one of its electrons to move to a higher energy state. |
|
| The whole point to the light-dependent reactions is to convert solar energy into a usable form of energy. |
|
| Biochemical analyses demonstrated that parapinopsins activated transducin in vitro in a light-dependent manner, similar to vertebrate visual opsins. |
