Definitions:

Light-Dependent Reactions

The series of biochemical processes in photosynthesis that occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, requiring light to produce ATP and NADPH.

Light-Independent Reactions

Carbon-fixing second stage of photosynthesis; use ATP and NADPH to assemble sugars from water and CO2.

Thylakoid Compartment

A membrane-bound structure found within chloroplasts that contains the chlorophyll necessary for photosynthesis.

Light-Dependent Reactions

The first phase of photosynthesis where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
