Chapter 7, Problem 2SQ

Summary Introduction

To determine: The advantage of the light reactions producing NADPH and ATP on the stroma side of the thylakoid membrane.

Introduction:

The light reaction is carried in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. The photosystem unit is present in the thylakoid membrane which involves in the light reaction. The light reaction generates electrons from water and produced energy (ATP and NADPH). ATP is an Adenosine triphosphate is high energy molecules which are present in every cell while NADH is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is a reducing molecule which transfers electrons to other cells.
