Light hits the pigment in the membrane of the thylakoid, splitting the H2O and O2
Step three
The electrons move down to enzymes
Step four
Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH
Step five
The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose
Step six
The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose.
