Photosynthesis can be divided into two stagesâthe light dependent reaction and the light independent (or dark) reactions. During the light reactions, an electron is stripped from a water molecule freeing the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The free oxygen atom combines with another free oxygen atom to produce oxygen gas which is then released.
Photosynthesis is the plant process where light energy is used to generate the production of ATP. The ATP so formed is used to form the bonds between carbon dioxide molecules and hydrogen atoms released from water by the light energy. The process forms sugar (glucose) molecules and produces oxygen as a waste product. At a glance, the equations: sugar + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + ATP energy (cellular respiration) and carbon dioxide + water + sun's energy --> sugar + oxygen (photosynthesis) look to be the reverse of each other.
