Photosynthesis

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert water and carbon dioxide into high-energy sugars and oxygen.

The two sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions.

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the thylakoid membranes.
