Question 2 options:
Stage 1: The thylakoid captures light energy. Stage 2: Chlorophyll converts it to chemical energy.
Stage 1: The granum captures light energy. Stage 2: The thylakoid converts it to chemical energy.
Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.
Stage 1: Light energy is converted to chemical energy. Stage 2: Chloroplasts capture the chemical energy.
1 answer
The option that accurately describes the first two stages of photosynthesis is:
Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.
This correctly identifies that chlorophyll, located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, captures light energy (Stage 1), and during the light-dependent reactions, this energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH (Stage 2).
