Explain what happens during light stage of photosynthesis. – NABTEB QUESTION
by Sunday | Sep 20 | NABTEB QUESTIONS |
- Molecules of chlorophyll trap radiant energy of sunlight/chlorophyll absorb sunlight rays.
- Energy level of chlorophyll increases/chlorophyll becomes excited/chlorophyll energized.
- ADP receives extra energy and becomes ATP/ATP is formed from ADP.
- With the other extra energy, water molecules are split into hydrogen ions and
- hydroxyl ions/photolysis of water occurs. Hydrogen ions are transferred.
- NADP accepts hydrogen ions and becomes NADPH2/NADP reduced.
- Hydroxyl ions pass through series of chemical reactions to yield oxygen and water.
- Oxygen and water are released as by-products.
