1. Photosynthesis
-Photosynthesis is process in which sunlight is converted into chemical energy in carbohydrate molecules
6 H2O + 6 CO2  C6H12O2 + 6 O2
-this happens within chloroplasts and specifically, inside the thylakoid membrane (light dependent reactions) and stroma (light independent reactions)

2. Photosynthesis
-during the light DEPENDENT reactions, water is transformed and light energy helps to create ATP along with NADPH + H+ and O2 (oxygen gas)

3. Photosynthesis
-during light INDPENDENT reactions (also known as the Calvin Cycle) in the stroma, carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH + H+ come together to ultimately produce sugar
-NADP+ and ADP are a byproduct

4. Photosynthesis In-Depth
