the first portion of photosynthesis is light dependent and begins when photons of light from the sun strike the pigments in the thylakoid membrane. the energy from the sunlight is transferred to electrons which enter an electron transport chain. after each step in the electron transport chain lost energy is used to make ATP from adp
During the second stage of photosynthesis, known as the light-independent reactions or the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using the energy stored during the light-dependent reactions. This process takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and involves a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that ultimately produce glucose, which is a form of stored energy for the plant.
You could conduct an experiment by covering the deep purple portion of the leaf with aluminum foil, leaving the green portion exposed to light. After a period of time, test both portions for starch using iodine solution. If the green portion turns blue-black while the purple portion remains light, it would indicate that photosynthesis is occurring in the green part but not the purple part.
The flattened portion of a leaf is called the blade. It is the broad, typically green part of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs.
NADPH is the other molecule produced in the second stage of photosynthesis, known as the light-dependent reactions. Both ATP and NADPH are essential for the production of sugars in the Calvin cycle, which is the third stage of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis
Oxygen, glucose, and energy are the outputs of photosynthesis.
Most photosynthesis occurs in a portion of the leaf called the palisade mesophyll. Palisade cells contain chloroplasts, which convert the energy stored in photons to chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Calvin cycle.
Atp is one of them.
