light reaction occurs during photosynthesis
The light reaction of light dependent reaction occurs in the chloroplast of the mesophyll cells of the leaves. The chloroplasts are double-membraned cell organelles that are comprised of stacked disc-like structures known as thylakoids. The pigment, chlorophyll, which is required for the process is present on the membrane of these thylakoids and this is where the light reaction occurs.
The Steps Involved in the Light Reaction
The main purpose of the light reaction is to generate organic energy molecules such as ATP and NADPH which are needed for the subsequent dark reaction.
Chlorophyll absorbs the red and blue segment of the white light and photosynthesis occurs most efficiently at these wavelengths.
When the light falls on the plant, the chlorophyll pigment absorbs this light and electrons in it gets excited.
This process occurs in a complex protein system which is collectively called as aphotosystem. There are two closely linked photosystems known as PSI and PSII.
The chlorophyll pigments which are excited give up their electrons and to compensate for the loss of electrons, water is split to release four H+ ions and four electrons and O2. The electrons that are lost from the PSII enter into an electron transfer chain or ETC.
The electrons finally reach the reaction centre where they combine with NADP+ and reduce it to NADPH
While the electrons are taken care of, the built up of H+ ions inside the thylakoid lumen is of equal importance.
The hydrogen ions building up inside the lumen creates a positive gradient and in the presence of the enzyme ATP synthetase, these H+ ions combine with the ADP in the nearby region to form ATP.
The oxygen that is a waste product is released by the plant into the atmosphere and some of it is used in photorespiration if the plant needs to.
