    • Stroma = site of reactions of the light independent stage. contains the enzymes required e.g RUBISCO
    • thylakoid = contains the enzymes and electron carriers of the electron transport chain that takes place in the light dependent stage
    • NADPH = reducing agent, produced in the light dependent reaction and reduces GP in the light independent stage to produce TP
    • ATP = supplies the energy for the reaction of the two GP molecules into TP
    • electron transport chain = passes electrons between the carriers and energy is released, electron carriers have decreasing levels.
      energy is used to synthesise ATP and reduce NADP
