|
Definition
| Set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH. |

Term
| Light Independent Reactions |
|
Definition
| Sets of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar; also called the Calvin cycle. |
