<strong>process</strong>es,each with many steps.<br />
The two stages of photosyn<strong>the</strong>s<strong>is</strong> are called:<br />
The light reactions convert solar energy to chemical energy.<br />
NADPH <strong>is</strong> an electron carrier, similar to NADH.<br />
The Calvin cycle begins with carbon fixation, incorporating CO2 into organic molecules<br />
The light reactions convert solar energy to <strong>the</strong><br />
chemical energy of ATP and NADPH<br />
Chloroplasts are solar-powered chemical factories<br />
Their thylakoids transform light energy into <strong>the</strong> chemical<br />
energy of ATP and NADPH
