Question
what happens in the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis? makes sugar makes oxygen
In the light - dependent stage of photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll. This energy is used to split water molecules ($\ce{H_2O}$) into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is then released as a by - product. The process of making sugar (glucose) occurs in the light - independent (Calvin cycle) stage, not the light - dependent stage. So the correct option related to the light - dependent stage is "Makes oxygen".
