I have a test tomorrow on a whole new chapter we haven't even discussed in class.
I'm having trouble understanding the process of photosynthesis in light dependent reactions. I can not memorize the whole thing for tomorrow, so I really NEED a summary explaining how this process takes place. For example:
The first step is absorbing light
That is the only one I can remember. Please Help me. Thank you very much.
 
enerygy is captured by chlorophyll and the energy excites the electrons, increasing their energy level. Some high-energy electrons are passed down an Electron Transport Chain and their energy is used to charge ADP+P into ATP. Some high-energy electrons are picked up by the carrier NADP+ charging it into NADPH. Enzymes in the thylakoid membrane split water to release hydrogen, electrons, and oxygen though the process of photolysis. Hydrogen and electrons are used in the light-dependent reactions and oxygen leaves the leaf through the stomata.
The reactants are: NADP+,ADP+P, and water
The products are: NADPH, ATP, and oxygen.
