The light-dependent and light-independent (Calvin cycle) reactions, the role of the chloroplast, and limiting factors.
Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy in glucose: . It happens in two stages inside the chloroplast.
The chloroplast
A double membrane encloses the stroma (fluid), within which stacked thylakoid membranes (grana) hold chlorophyll. Thylakoids are the site of the light-dependent reactions; the stroma is the site of the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
