There are two sets of reactions that make up photosynthesis.
a. During the __________ reactions, light is absorbed by ______________ and through a series of reactions is used to generate molecules of ________ and __________ that hold energy originally found in light. For this set of reactions to occur, _________ must be used and doing so releases oxygen as a by-product.
b. During the ___________ cycle, the ATP and NADPH generated previously are used to take in _____ gas and convert it to the high energy carbohydrate/sugar called ____________. All of the events in this second stage occur in the ____________ of the chloroplast.

a. During the _light-dependent_ reactions, light is absorbed by _chlorophyll_ and through a series of reactions is used to generate molecules of _ATP_ and _NADPH_ that hold energy originally found in light. For this set of reactions to occur, _water_ must be used and doing so releases oxygen as a by-product.
b. During the _Calvin_ cycle, the ATP and NADPH generated previously are used to take in _carbon dioxide_ gas and convert it to the high energy carbohydrate/sugar called _glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (your teahcer might want "glucose" here instead)_. All of the events in this second stage occur in the _stroma_ of the chloroplast.
