Initial light dependent reactions, take place in the thylakoids of the chloroplasts. Make energy in the form of ATP & NADPH to fuel the dark reactions. Oxygen is released

Dark Reactions
Light independent reactions, fueled by ATP & NADPH from the light reactions, converts CO2 to glucose. Occurs in the stoma of the chloroplasts, also referred to as the Calvin Cycle
