Question

which of the following statements best describes the light - dependent reactions? set of reactions that transforms light energy into chemical energy. series of reactions that use chemical energy to build new proteins for the cell. set of reactions that uses chemical energy to create sugar molecules. set of reactions that breaks down sugar molecules to create atp.

Explanation:

Light - dependent reactions in photosynthesis transform light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The first option describes cellular respiration, the second describes the Calvin - cycle (light - independent reactions), and the third is related to protein synthesis using chemical energy.

Answer:

Set of reactions that transforms light energy into chemical energy.
