Question

the table lists the steps of an important biological process. solar energy is captured by chlorophyll molecules. two energy molecules, nadph and atp, are produced. water is split by using light energy. oxygen is released as a waste product. during which process do these steps take place? the light - independent reactions of photosynthesis glycolysis of cellular respiration the krebs cycle of cellular respiration the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis

Explanation:

In the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis, chlorophyll captures solar energy. Light energy is used to split water, producing NADPH and ATP, and oxygen is released as a waste product. The light - independent reactions use these products but don't directly involve light in the same way. Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle are parts of cellular respiration and not related to these light - related steps.

Answer:

D. the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis
