Light ReactionsLight dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane, with the pigment chlorophyll absorbing sunlight
The Calvin (C3) Cycle
ATP and NADPH (from the light reactions) power the creation of three carbon chains
Formation of Glucose3-carbon chains from the C3 cycle join to form the six carbon molecule, glucose (or other molecules required by the plant)C-C-C + C-C-C C-C-C-C-C-C
GlucoseC6H12O6
