Which Events Take Place in the Light-Dependent Reactions of Photosynthesis?
During the light-dependent reactions, sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, which then splits water molecules, releasing oxygen and producing ATP and NADPH.

Oxygen is released in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Without this step, you'd probably need a snorkel everywhere you go.
The light-dependent reactions capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH.
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, water gets split into oxygen and hydrogen ions, and ATP plus NADPH are created.
In the light-dependent reactions, plants convert light energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH). This happens in the thylakoid membranes. Water splits into oxygen and hydrogen ions (this is where the oxygen you breathe comes from).
