Question

During the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis, light energy is converted into which form of energy?

chemical
mechanical
thermal
electrical

Answer 1

NADPH formation.

The net effect of these steps is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to make sugars in the next stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle.
