Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast 1. Light reactions in thylakoid Produce ATP, NADPH, and O2 2.

. Calvin cycle occurs in stroma Synthesis of carbohydrates Photoautotrophs uses light energy to make organic molecules "from scratch" (that is, from inorganic molecules). The carbon that is found in a plant is added to the plant from the carbon dioxide it "breathes." Carbon dioxide is reduced to form glucose in photosynthetic organisms. The thylakoid membrane is where the photosynthetic electron transport chain of plants located.
