**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding ATP**: ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is known as the energy currency of the cell. It is crucial for various cellular processes and functions. 2. **Photosynthesis Overview**: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy, primarily in the form of glucose. This process occurs in two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). 3. **ATP Formation in Photosynthesis**: During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP is indeed produced. This occurs through the process of photophosphorylation, where light energy is used to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP. ...
