Photosynthesis

• During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
• Light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis, with higher intensities resulting in faster rates.
• The oxygen is released as a waste product of photosynthesis.
• Chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants that traps the sunlight.
• The cell membrane in a cell controls what goes in and out of the cell.
