1. 8.3 The Process of Photosynthesis

2. Q: What happens during the light-dependent reactions?
A: The light-dependent reactions use energy from sunlight to produce oxygen & convert ADP and NADP+ into energy carriers ATP and NADPH.
Photosystems-clusters of chlorophyll & proteins.

3. Photosystem II Electron Transport Chain-a series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions. Photosystem I Hydrogen Ion Movement & ATP Formation

5. Light-Independent Reactions: Producing Sugar AKA: Calvin Cycle
Q: What happens during the light-independent reactions? A: ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to produce high-energy sugars. Carbon Dioxide Enters the Cycle Sugar Production
