Answer:

The correct answer to the question: What is the primary purpose of the light reactions of photosynthesis, would be: B: To release electrons needed to convert solar energy to chemica energy, such as ATP.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, the process by which an autotrophic plant, who contains chlorophyll, converts water, CO2 and sunlight into sources to form the molecules that will provide them with energy, NADPH and ATP. The purpose of sunlight, as it is absorbed by the chloroplasts, and as it comes into contact with chlorophyll, is to activate the electrons present in the other components, water and carbon dioxide, so that in the energy exchange and process, the energy molecules ATP and NADPH are created. These two will be vital for the second part of the whole process. The sunlight is necessary for the first part, which is known as the Light Reaction, while ATP and NADPH will be vital for the second part of the process, the Dark Reaction, which is where glucose, and other food sources are generated.
