Photosynthesis occurs in two stages in a cell. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage and transport molecules ATP and NADPH. The light-independent Calvin cycle uses the energy from short-lived electronically excited carriers to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds that can be used by the organism.

Yes, ATP is required in photosynthesis. ATP is used to provide energy for the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
