In light-dependent reactions, the energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of electron carrier molecules like ATP and NADPH.Light energy is harnessed in Photosystems I and II, both of which are present in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.In light-independent reactions (the Calvin cycle), carbohydrate molecules are assembled from carbon dioxide using the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions.
TERM[ edit ]
photosystem
Either of two biochemical systems active in chloroplasts that are part of photosynthesis.

A prime mover is a muscle whose contraction is chiefly responsible for producing a particular movement. The muscles act on major joints within our bodies. Some more familiar ones are your biceps, triceps, and hamstrings.
The answer is efferent
division. The nervous system acts as an input-output
system. The afferent nervous system conveys
signals to the brain following a stimulus. After processing of the information, the
brain sends out a signal in response. This response is carried by the efferent nerve to the requisite organ involved
in the response.
