Answer:

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.
