Solution

Verified by Toppr
The below are steps involved in photosynthesis :
1. CO2 and H2O enter the leaf.
2. Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2, H+ and e−
3. The electrons move down through the ETS, losing energy at every level
4. Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH.
5. The ATP and NADPH are used by the Calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.
6. The Calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose.
7. The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions) involve atmospheric CO2 fixation by reducing it to carbohydrate (Glucose).

Answer:
The overall process of photosynthesis can be objectively divided into four steps/ process:
Absorption of light. The first step in photosynthesis is the absorption of light by chlorophylls that are attached to the proteins in the thylakoids of chloroplasts. ...
Electron Transfer. ...
Generation of ATP. ...
Carbon Fixation.
