QUESTION

What are the two stages of photosynthesis?

Light dependent reaction Light independent reaction

In light-dependent reactions, the energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of electron carrier molecules like ATP and NADPH. Light energy is harnessed in the Photosystems I and II, both of which are present in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

In light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle), carbohydrate molecules are assembled from carbon dioxide using the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions.
