| Tell me more! I wish they taught me these things when I was in school. | |

| There are two parts of photosynthesis | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| The first part is the light-dependent reactions which uses water, ADP, and NADP+ to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. Light-dependent reactions take place in the tylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. | |
| | |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| The second part is the Calvin cycle which is the process in which plants use ATP and NADPH from light-dependent reactions to produce high-energy sugars. The Calvin cycle takes place in the storma. | |

|
|
| | |
| So plants produce sugars? | |
