D) Light-independent phase
E) Carbon fixation reactions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The light-dependent phase of photosynthesis, which occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, involves the absorption of light energy by chlorophyll and the use of that energy to synthesize ATP and NADPH. These molecules are then used as energy sources in the light-independent phase to fix carbon dioxide into sugars.
