| The light reaction happens in the thylakoid membrane and converts light energy to chemical energy. Of course it must take place in the light. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| The light reactions convert light into energy (ATP and NADHP) and the dark reactions, the Calvin Cycle, use the energy and carbon dioxide to produce sugar. | |

| All of the process of photosynthesis allows us to eat food and survive and even breathe. | |
 | |  |
