The light -dependent reactions use light energy to make molecules needed for the next stage of the photosynthesis.
00:11
The energy storage molecule atp and the reduced electron carrier known as n -a -d -p in plants, the light reaction take place in the thylacoid membrane.
00:26
So this is the tyloquoid membrane of organelles called as chloroplast.
00:34
Photosystems, large complexes of proteins and pigments that are optimized to harvest light play a key role in the light reaction.
00:46
There are two types of photosynthesis.
00:48
We have photosystem 1 and we have photo system 2.
00:53
Both photo systems contain many pigments that help collect.
00:57
Light energy as well as a special pair of chlorophyll molecule found at the core or the reaction center of the photo system.
01:07
The special pair of photosystem 1 is called as p -700, while the special pair of photosystem 2 is called p680.
01:18
We should also know what are the main steps in the process.
01:22
The first one is the light absorption in photosystem 2.
01:32
The electrons get excited from photosystem 2 or your p680 and accepted by an electron acceptor.
01:43
The second step would be the splitting.
01:47
So there will be a splitting of water molecule.
01:54
This electron is replaced by water and water gets split into hydrogen ions and oxygen.
02:05
And the third step would be atp synthesis...
