Expert Solution
Step 1

The light-dependent reaction is a photochemical reaction that occurs in chloroplast thylakoid membranes and converts light energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). 

The light-dependent mechanisms use light energy to make two molecules that are necessary for the next step of photosynthesis: the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. Light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, which are plant organelles.  The stroma is where photosynthesis's light-independent processes occur. It comprises enzymes that act with ATP and NADPH to "fix" carbon from CO2 into molecules that can be used to make glucose. The stroma also stores the chloroplast's genetic material (which is distinct from the cell's).
