As the electrons move to lower energy states, they help pump hydrogen ions into the thylakoid lumen, creating a concentration gradient. This gradient powers ATP synthase to produce ATP. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/ka_thumbnails_cache/60c124e8-3009-4cd8-970d-e093a235251b_1280_720_base.png Conceptual overview of light dependent reactions During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, light energy excites electrons, which then move through a series of molecules in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.

Light-dependent reactions use light energy and water to produce ATP, NADPH, and oxygen. Light-independent reactions then uses ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide to create sugar. This process transforms light energy into a usable form, supporting life on Earth.
