light energy
Explanation: Photosynthesis is an endergonic process that requires light energy to drive the conversion of CO2 and H2O into glucose and O2. ATP and NADPH are intermediates made/used in the light reactions and rubisco is a catalyst — they aren't added as reactants in the overall balanced equation.
