Question
Light is needed for photosynthesis, because it
A. Provides energy, which is converted to chemical energy
b. Provides, heat energy, which is converted to chemical energy
c. Directly causes ATP production
d. Brings water into the chloroplast
e. Drives many enzymatic reactions
Expert Solution

Step 1
Plants and other living things perform a process called photosynthesis to transform light energy into chemical energy that can be produced through cellular respiration.
Chloroplasts, which store the pigment in plants, are where photosynthesis occurs. The thylakoid membrane, a second inner membrane that creates long folds inside the chloroplast and is bordered by a double membrane, is present inside chloroplasts.
