Photosynthesis

The process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Light Reactions

The first stage of photosynthesis, where light energy is captured and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Dark Reactions (Calvin Cycle)

The second stage of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is used to produce glucose (sugar) using the energy from ATP and NADPH.

Chlorophyll

The main pigment in plants that absorbs light for photosynthesis. It absorbs mainly red and blue light.
