In this clip you can see more about the two phases of photosynthesis.
Photo (light dependent stage)
and synthesis (also known as the Calvin Cycle, Carbon Fixation or Light Independent stage).
In the first stage inputs are LIGHT, WATER and require CHLOROPHYLL and ADP, the result is ADP (Adenine DI-phosphate) is 'charged' to ATP (Adenine TRI-phosphate) and water is split into oxygen and hydrogen.
The second stage requires HYDROGEN generated from 1st stage and CARBON DIOXIDE and these are used to synthesis or make GLUCOSE using the energy currency of ATP also made in 1st stage.
