Answer:
It is convenient to divide the photosynthetic process in plants into four stages, each occurring in a defined area of the chloroplast: (1) absorption of light, (2) electron transport leading to the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, (3) generation of ATP, and (4) conversion of CO2 into carbohydrates (carbon fixation).
Here is a visual that may help.
Answer:
Step 1-
CO2 and H2O enter the leaf
Step 2-
Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2
Step 3-
The electrons move down to enzymes
Step 4-
Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH
Step 5-
The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.
Step 6-
The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose
calvin cycle
The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions), involving atmospheric CO2 fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate
