In photosynthesis, what is the purpose of absorbing light into chloroplasts?
In photosynthesis, light is absorbed in order to move electrons from water molecules to NADPH. The reduction of to NADPH is accompanied by the movement of protons across a membrane which sets up a gradient similar to that of oxidative phosphorylation. The protons eventually run through ATP synthase and ATP is formed.
