Light reaction Calvin cycle Light reactions and Calvin cycle Uses hydrogen ions (H+) diffusing down their concentration gradient to produce ATP Uses photons Uses ATP Occurs in the chloroplast Produces glucose (C6H12O6) Uses water (H2O) Produces oxygen (O2) Pumps hydrogen ions (H+) against their concentration gradient Uses carbon dioxide (CO2) Produces ATP Excites electrons
