Locations: Stroma, Thylakoids membrane

Reactants: ADP, ATP, Carbon Dioxide, NADP+, NADPH, Sunlight, Water

Products: ADP, ATP, NADPH, NADP+, Oxygen, Sugars

Answer 1

Please find the correct placement in a tabular format in the attached image. The explanation has been done below.

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis occurs in two stages viz: light-dependent and light-independent reactions.

- In the light-dependent reaction, which occurs in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE of the chloroplast, energy from SUNLIGHT is used to breakdown WATER to release electrons in order to synthesize ATP and NADPH from ADP and NADP+. In a nutshell, the processes involved in this stage are Electron transport chain, photosystem I, photosystem II, and ATP synthase.

- In the light-independent stage, also called CALVIN CYCLE, the ATP, NADPH, and CO2 are used as reactants to synthesize SUGAR (glucose), NADP+ and ADP (which goes back to the first stage) as products.
