To make energy-carrier molecules like NADPH
thylakoid membrane The photosystems that capture light are located on the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoids are stacked to form grana.
The clusters are called photosystems.
ATP, or adinosine triphosphate, is simply an adenine, a sugar (ribose), and three phosphates. ADP is has two phosphates, and AMP has one phosphate. Each phosphate added creates more energy in the molecule, making it unstable. It is the phosphates coming apart from the molecule that is releasing the energy.

Because photosystems need light to operate (photo=light). Photosystems use energy from sunlight, Calvin systems use energy stored in the plant.

the suns energy is generated at its core. The energy that is produced by the sun is generated by fusion.
The clusters are called photosystems.
Adenosine plus 3 phosphates, called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.
