Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1-Light Dependent

CO2 and H2O enter the leaf

Step 2- Light Dependent

Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2

Step 3- Light Dependent

The electrons move down to enzymes

Step 4-Light Dependent

Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH

Step 5-Light independent

The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.

Step 6-Light independent

The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose
