Understand that photosynthesis consists of two main stages: the light reactions and the Calvin cycle.
Recall that the light reactions capture light energy to produce ATP and NADPH, but do not directly produce glucose.
Recognize that the Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from the light reactions to fix carbon dioxide and synthesize glucose.
Identify that photorespiration (C3 or C4) is a process that can occur when oxygen is fixed instead of carbon dioxide, which does not produce glucose and is generally considered wasteful.
Conclude that the step of photosynthesis responsible for generating glucose sugar is the Calvin cycle.
