chemical equation for photosynthesis

Explanation:

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis use sunlight, water, and chlorophyll as key components. Sunlight provides energy, water is split to release electrons and oxygen, and chlorophyll captures light energy. These reactions do not use carbon dioxide directly, nor produce glucose (those are part of the light-independent Calvin cycle).

Answer:

The components part of the light dependent reactions are:

• Sun Light
• 6H₂O (Water)
• Chlorophyll
