Which part of photosynthesis is represented by the diagram to the right
Yanka [14]

Answer:

<em>Light-dependent reactions</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: light-dependent reactions and light independent-reactions. This last stage is often called Calvin cycle.

The diagram shows reactions occurred in the thylakoid membranes which are located inside the chloroplasts. Therefore, we can identify that these reactions are the light-dependent reactions. During this part of photosynthesis, the energy from the sunlight is absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyl (Chl). Then, it is sequentially coverted into chemical energy stored in the form of molecules: NADPH (nitotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

RNA contains a sugar which is known as ribose, and which contains an extra group of hydroxyl (OH-) while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar.

RNA contains four nitrogenous bases cytosine, adenine, guanine, and uracil, while DNA contains cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine.
