In the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis, light energy generates ATP. Describe how.
Light (energy excites/raises energy level of electrons in chlorphyll;
Electrons pass down electron transfer chain;
(Electrons) reduce carriers / passage involves redox reactions;
Electron transfer chain / role of chain associated with chloroplast membranes, in thylakoids/grana;
Energy released / carriers at decreasing energy levels;
ATP generated from ADP and phosphate/Pi / phosphorylation of ATP.
