The Process by Which Photosynthetic Organisms Use Light Energy for ATP

Question

The process by which photosynthetic organisms use light energy for ATP production is known as
A)photorespiration.
B)photosynthesis.
C)phototaxis.
D)photophosphorylation.
E)photoreduction.

Accepted Answer

Photophosphorylation is the process by which photosynthetic organisms (such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria) convert light energy into chemical energy, specifically ATP, through the use of photosystems located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
