Explanation:

Step1: Identify the two steps of photosynthesis

Photosynthesis has two steps: the light - dependent reaction (already filled) and the light - independent reaction (Calvin cycle).

Step2: Fill in the light - dependent reaction section

• From: The light - dependent reaction gets energy from light (sunlight).
• Powered by: It is powered by sunlight.
• Absorbed by: Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll.
• A pigment in the membrane of the: Chlorophyll is a pigment in the membrane of the thylakoid.

Step3: Fill in the light - independent reaction section

• Powered by: The light - independent reaction (Calvin cycle) is powered by ATP and NADPH (made in the light - dependent reaction).
• Occurs in the: It occurs in the stroma.
• Which is part of the: The stroma is part of the chloroplast.
• Uses: It uses \(CO_2\).
• Makes: It makes \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) (glucose).

Answer:

• Light - independent reaction (Calvin cycle)
• Light - dependent reaction:
• From: sunlight
• Powered by: sunlight
• A pigment in the membrane of the: thylakoid
• Light - independent reaction:
• Powered by: ATP and NADPH
• Occurs in the: stroma
• Which is part of the: chloroplast
• Uses: \(CO_2\)
• Makes: \(C_6H_{12}O_6\)
