Question

The light dependent reactions in photosynthesis take place on the thylakoid membranes. Explain the light-dependent reactions

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water. The light-dependent reactions release oxygen as a byproduct as water is broken apart.

Answer 2

Light dependent reactions are those which only take place in presence of light or light is the most essential component in it. Photosynthesis can also be considered as light dependent reaction because photosynthesis also only takes place in the presence of light.

Explanation:

Generally we found plant to do photosynthesis at day time but not in night time. But recently it has been also found that plants in front of a tube light during night time to do photosynthesis. So it can be said plants don't do photosynthesis because of only the absence of light and plant do photosynthesis at day time because at day time they get light from the sun. Thus, photosynthesis is a light-dependent reaction.
