Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. This process occurs in two stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). During the light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membranes, light energy is captured and used to produce ATP and NADPH. These energy carriers are then used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose. This passage is organized using which text structure?
