Cards (5)

The light phase takes place in the grana of chloroplasts
Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules in the thylakoids
Energy transformation takes place and radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy
Chemical energy is used for two processes
Photolysis:
Water molecules are split into Hydrogen atoms (transferred to dark phase) and oxygen atoms (released into atmosphere as a gas)
The energy carrier ATP is formed and it is used again in the dark phase
