light reactions
The steps in photosynthesis that occur on the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and convert solar energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH, evolving oxygen in the process.

(Redirected from Light reactions)
The first stage of the photosynthetic system is the light-dependent reaction, which converts solar energy into chemical energy.
Full article >>>

In plants, ATP is synthesized in chloroplasts during the light reactions of photosynthesis. Some of this ATP is then used to power the Calvin cycle, which synthesizes triose sugars.
