Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts. Light reactions in the thylakoid membranes produce ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle in the stroma uses CO₂ to build glucose.
Light Reactions
Thylakoid membrane — splits water, produces O₂, ATP & NADPH. Requires light photons.
Calvin Cycle
Stroma — uses CO₂ + ATP + NADPH to fix carbon and produce glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).
