Answer:

Explanation:

Two reactions take place that produce raw materials for the dark stage:

Light energy splits the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen
This process is called photolysis

The hydrogen is taken up by a hydrogen acceptor called Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) while oxygen is released as a by-product .

2 H₂O(l) --------->light energy -------> 4 H + O₂ (photolysis

)

Light energy strikes the chlorophyll molecules and sets in motion a series of reactions resulting in the production of a high energy molecule called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
