Light-dependent reactions
The light-dependent reactions take place across the thylakoid membrane.
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in Photosystem II and Photosystem I, leading to the splitting of water molecules (photolysis) and the production of ATP and reduced NADP.
Think of the thylakoid membrane as the part of the chloroplast where light energy is first captured and turned into usable energy.
