The most accurate statement regarding the first stage of photosynthesis is:
Radiant energy is converted into chemical energy, and this is a light-dependent stage.
In the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, sunlight is captured and used to generate energy-rich molecules (ATP and NADPH), while water is split to release oxygen. The formation of sugar molecules like glucose occurs later in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
