Final answer:

Photosynthesis involves light-dependent reactions that produce energy carriers - NADPH and ATP - and the Calvin cycle, which utilizes these carriers to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.


Explanation:

Light-Dependent Reactions: In this phase, sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll to create stored chemical energy in the form of NADPH and ATP at the thylakoid membrane. These energy carriers then proceed to the Calvin cycle.

The Calvin Cycle: This stage can occur during daytime or nighttime and involves the usage of energy carriers like NADP+ and ADP to capture carbon dioxide and produce carbohydrates.
