Flashcards
Light-dependent reactions
Light-dependent reactions
The first stage of photosynthesis, which occurs in the thylakoids of chloroplasts and uses light energy to create ATP and NADPH.
Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)
Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle)
The second stage of photosynthesis, which occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and uses the energy stored in ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into sugar.
Photosynthesis
