During the first step of photosynthesis, the chloroplasts (which give plants their green color) capture the energy from the sunlight.
In the second step, the cell uses the captured energy (ATP) to produce sugars in the form of glucose.

∙ 13y agoThe first stage of photosynthesis uses an enzyme confusingly called "photosystem II ". In this light-dependent reaction, the enzyme (water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase) uses photons of light to energize electrons, which are used to add hydrogen H+ ions from water to the molecule plastoquinone, forming plastoquinol.
