Which energy sources drive the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?

Light-Dependent Reactions

The first stage of photosynthesis where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Light-Independent Reactions

A series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light to proceed, resulting in the synthesis of glucose from carbon dioxide and water.

Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
