Light not only provides the energy for carbon assimilation in the chloroplast, it is also an important regulatory factor of carbon metabolism. The activities of several of its key enzymes are linked to light. This enables the chloroplasts to switch between biosynthetic pathways in the light and catabolic processes in the dark.
