Answer:
A) Light dependent reactions
Reactants: light, H2O
Products: Oxygen gas
B) Light independent reactions
Reactants: C02
Products: Glucose
2. NADPH is an electron carrier which transfers electrons in the electron transport chain of photosynthesis
3. Light reactions occur in the THYLAKOID membrane.
Explanation:
As depicted in the image in this question, the photosynthetic process can be grouped into two stages viz; light dependent reactions and light independent reactions. The light dependent reactions, which take place in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE of the Chloroplast, involves the synthesis of ATP (energy carrier) and NADPH (electron carrier) to be used in the next stage. The reactants of light dependent reactions are light energy from sun, and water (H2O) while the product is Oxygen (O2) gas.
In the light independent reactions, the ATP and NADPH are used to synthesize GLUCOSE as a product from Carbon dioxide (CO2) reactant.
2. The NADPH is is an electron carrier produced from the reduction of NADP+, which transfers or donates electrons to other molecules in the electron transport chain of photosynthesis. This is crucial in building of the proton gradient for ATP production.
3. The light reaction or light dependent reaction takes place in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE of the Chloroplast.
