phase in photosynthesis during which the energy in sunlight is trapped and converted into ATP and NADPH
I need the term for this and cannot find it anywhere. Thanks!
The specific phase in photosynthesis during which the energy in sunlight is trapped and converted into ATP and NADPH is called the light-dependent reactions, also known as the light reactions. To locate this information when searching for it, you can follow these steps:
1. Begin by searching for "phases of photosynthesis." This will provide you with an overview of the different stages of photosynthesis.
2. Look for information about the light-dependent reactions specifically. This phase usually occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts.
3. Within the light-dependent reactions, the trapping and conversion of sunlight energy into ATP and NADPH occur. These molecules act as energy carriers for the subsequent phase of photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions (also known as the Calvin cycle).
By following these steps, you should be able to find the term you are looking for: the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
