        Step 1
        
        5C bonds with CO2 from the air bonds to make a short lived 6C molecule
        
        Step 2
        
        ATP and NADPH are used
        
        6C molecule broken into 3C molecules
        
        Step 3
        
        3C molecules will bond to form glucose
        
        Other 3C molecules will recombine to form 5C molecule
        
        Process restarts
      - Light Dependent Reactions
        
        Step 1
        
        Chlorophyll in PSII absorbs sunlight
        
        Electrons become excited
        
        Thylakoid membrane becomes negatively charged
        
        Starts an "electron transport chain"
        
        Step 2
        
        H+ pulled into thylakoids
        
        Water molecules are broken
        
        Water's electrons replenish the photosystem
        
        Oxygen waste released
        
        Step 3
        
        Chlorophyll in PSI absorbs sunlight and electrons become excited
        
        Step 4
        
        Electrons help bond NADP+ and H+ to create NADPH
        
        Step 5
        
        H+ diffuses into the stroma
        
        H+ helps bond ADP+P to create ATP
