Photosynthesis can be subdivided into two major processes: The light-dependent reactions (Light Reactions) and the light-independent reactions (Dark Reactions).
 
 
 

The light-dependent reactions consist of a series of three macromolecular complexes found in the thylakoid membrane. Name the three complexes, list the products of the three complexes, and list their function(s).
