Answer 1

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 this stage, sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and energy-rich compounds like ATP and NADPH, making it a light-dependent process.
