The chloroplast model below shows the light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis. Fill in the textboxes with the reactants and products that are missing.

Light Dependent Reactions:
Reactants: Light energy (photons), water (H2O), and ADP (adenosine diphosphate)
Products: Oxygen (O2), ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)

Light Independent Reactions (Calvin cycle):
Reactants: Carbon dioxide (CO2), ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)
Products: Glucose (C6H12O6), ADP (adenosine diphosphate), and NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, oxidized form)
