What Are the Steps of Photosynthesis?
First, light-dependent reactions happen where chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and water is split to release oxygen. Next, the Calvin cycle takes that energy to turn carbon dioxide into glucose.

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. That鈥檚 it.
Photosynthesis has two main stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. In the first stage, chlorophyll absorbs light energy, splits water molecules, and releases oxygen. In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using the energy from the first stage.
Been teaching biology for years: Photosynthesis involves light reactions where sunlight splits water to release oxygen and the Calvin cycle where carbon dioxide becomes glucose.
