light reaction
Light reaction is the initial stage of photosynthesis, a process that occurs in plants, algae, and certain types of bacteria. During the light reaction, energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments, and is used to generate ATP and NADPH. This process also involves the splitting of water molecules, a process known as photolysis, which results in the release of oxygen. The ATP and NADPH produced are then used in the second stage of photosynthesis, the dark reaction or Calvin cycle, to produce sugars.
