what is the first step of light reactions

• energy rich molecules (atp and nadph) are produced- used to make glucose in the calvin cycle

• water is split by sunlight-O2 is a by product, H+ ion build up

• Chlorophyll captures the sun's energy-pigments are responsible

what is the second step of light reactions

• Water is split by sunlight- oxygen is a by product, h+ ion build up

• chlorophyll captures the suns energy- pigments are responsible

• energy rich molecules (atp and nadph) are produced - used to make glucose in the calvin cycle

what is the first step of dark reactions

• co2 enters the stomata

• atp/nadph come from LDR fuel

• used to produce glucose/carbs and other macromolecules
