D)chemical

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts and involve the absorption of light by chlorophyll pigments. This energy is used to synthesize ATP and reduce electron carrier molecules such as NADP+ to NADPH. The dark reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts and involve the use of ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugars.
