Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions divided into two stages, the light reactions and the Calvin cycle. ATP and NADPH are generated by two electron transport chains during the light reactions. The Calvin cycle uses CO2 and the energy temporarily stored in ATP and NADPH to make the sugar glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -While there are many steps behind the process of photosynthesis, it can be broken down into two major stages: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cell The reactions that make up the process of photosynthesis can be divided into light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoids, and light-independent reactions (also known as dark reactions or the Calvin cycle), which take place in the stroma.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon atoms end up in you, and in other life forms, thanks to the second stage of photosynthesis, known as the Calvin cycle (or the light-independent reactions).
