Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that plants produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis, which occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
Photosynthesis involves two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions).
During the light-dependent reactions, sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, and energy is used to split water molecules, releasing oxygen and generating ATP and NADPH.
In the Calvin Cycle, ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. This process occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts.
Recognize that the glucose produced in photosynthesis is then used in cellular respiration to provide energy for the plant's cellular activities.
