Explanation:

it takes part i two phases
In light-dependent reactions, the energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of electroncarriermolecules like ATP and NADPH.
Light energy is harnessed in Photosystems I and II, both of which are present in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
In light-independent reactions (the Calvin cycle), carbohydrate molecules are assembled from carbon dioxide using the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions.
chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.
