Photosynthesis
Light energy into chemical energy
Occurs in the chloroplast
2 main stages
Light dependent reaction (LDR)
Calvin cycle/Light independent reaction (LIR)
Calvin Cycle/Light-Independent Reaction
Uses energy captured in the LDRs + CO2 from the atmosphere to build glucose (
C6 H12 O6 )
Occurs in the chloroplast stroma
What energy and e− carrying molecules were formed in the LDRs?
NADPH & ATP
1. CO2 fixation
