Let's get to work team! We've got light to capture and energy to make!

SUNLIGHT
These protons are headed to Lumen. This is where we generate ATP and NADPH!
Im excited to release electrons! Time to break water into oxygen, protons, and high energy electrons!

CO2
Carbon dioxide (CO2) enters the stroma of the chloroplast, where it is used in the Calvin cycle to synthesize glucose

The Light Dependent Reactions occur here in the Thylakoid membrane, where light energy splits water into oxygen, protons, and electrons. The ATP and NADPH formed are key for the next phase

This whole process of teamwork is a continuous cycle that generates energy the plant needs
Liuku: 8
In the Light Independent Reactions in the Stroma, carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose, using the energy provided by the LDR.
The plant uses the energy to grow effectively and store energy for later use
