Light reaction

The video explains photosynthesis, focusing on light-dependent and light-independent reactions. It details the role of chlorophyll in absorbing light, the function of photosystems, and the electron transport chain. The process of ATP and NADPH production is covered, including the Z scheme and cyclic photophosphorylation. The chemiosmotic hypothesis and ATP synthesis via ATP synthase are also discussed.
