Photosynthesis – using solar energy, carbon dioxide and
water to form glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
Brief Overview:
3 StagesLight Reactions
1. Energy is captured from sunlight and oxygen is made.
2. Light energy is converted to chemical energy, which
is temporarily stored in ATP and NADPH.
Dark Reactions
3. The chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH
powers the formation of glucose, using carbon
dioxide, CO2.
Doesn’t require light.
