In the light-dependent stage, plant cells absorb light energy through proteins containing pigments, such as chlorophyll. In the final part of the stage, the process called photophosphorylation turns ADP into ATP, using the light energy taken in to make these high-energy molecules.

ATP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle, which is called a "light-independent" stage, to remove carbon from carbon dioxide to use in creating glucose and other molecules.

during photosynthesis green leaves absorb light because green leaves has chlorophyll which converts light energy into chemical energy with the help of water and co2 and after process it gives carbohydrate and oxygen gas as output.

In the light-cycle of photosynthesis, H2O i made into ½O2 and, with the help from sunlight, protons generate ATP and later NADPH; both to be used later in the Calvin-cycle.

The Calvin-cycle makes use of CO2, ATP and NADPH to create G3P, which most often combines into Glucose. Used ATP becomes ADP, and used NADPH becomes NADP+ which returns to the light-cycle to be re-used.

Both cycles are therefore dependent on each other.

It absorbs the blue and red light particles and reflects the green and it also uses the blue and red light particles for energy.
