Explain the light dependent phase of photosynthesis 15 pts. energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and that energy is converted into stored chemical energy to the absorption of energy by the photosystems the intermediary enzymes splitting water the formation of ATP from the ATPase pump reduction of NADP to NADPH at the complex called ferredoxin 2) Explain the light independent phase of photosynthesis 15 pts the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions drives the assembly of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide no mention of the PCR cycle rubisco RuBP PGAG3P or the number cycles necessary to make a hexose molecule
