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.
ATP synthase in photosynthesis is responsible for producing ATP molecules using the energy generated during the light-dependent reactions. It is located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and utilizes the proton gradient created by electron transport chain to drive ATP synthesis. This ATP production is essential for providing energy for the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
The production of ATP in photosynthesis is called photophosphorylation. This process involves using light energy to generate ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
Answer: ATP glucose
The production of ATP in photosynthesis is called photophosphorylation. This process involves the use of light energy to generate ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
In cyclic photosynthesis, the end product is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) only. In noncyclic photosynthesis, the end products are ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.
