Answer:

Although there is no diagram attached to this question but it can be answered based on the general knowledge of photosynthesis. The answer is:

H2O and light

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique phenomenon that occurs in the Chloroplast of plant cells. It is the process by which plants and other autotrophs obtain their energy source (food) in the presence of sunlight. Photosynthetic process occurs in two distinct stages viz: light dependent reaction and light independent reactions.

The light dependent reaction, as the name implies, is dependent on light to occur. It occurs in the Thylakoid membrane of the Chloroplast, where a photon of light is captured by the Chlorophyll pigment and the energy is used to split molecule of water in a process called PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER. The transfer of electrons across the thylakoid membrane creates a proton pump, which is used to generate ATP and NADPH. NADPH and ATP are electron and energy carriers respectively which enters into the light independent stage in order to synthesize glucose (sugar).

In a nutshell, the inputs of the light dependent stage are LIGHT from the sun, and water (H2O), which provides the proton and electron when split.
