    This document provides information about photosynthesis, including: 1. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight as an energy source. 2. It occurs in two stages - the light-dependent reactions in the thylakoid membranes that produce ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent Calvin cycle in the stroma that uses these products to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. 3. Key components of the light-dependent reactions include chlorophyll, which absorbs light in the blue and red regions, photosystems that use this energy to change NADP+ to NADPH, and the thylakoid membranes where this takes place.
