    The light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid, where light strikes the thylakoid membrane. Electrons become excited with extra energy and flow down the electron transport chain, producing ATP and NADPH. During photolysis, water is split apart forming hydrogen ions, electrons and oxygen. The hydrogen ions and electrons are used in the electron transport chain. The light independent reactions occur in the stroma. During carbon dioxide fixation, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is added to a five-carbon sugar in the Calvin cycle, which is transformed and ultimately converted to glucose. ATP and NADPH provide the energy to fuel this process.
