Draw a labelled diagram that illustrates the relationship between the two stages of photosynthesis. Refer to your diagram to explain why these stages are considered interdependent.

The diagram illustrating the relationship between the two stages of photosynthesis should show how the products of one stage are used in the reactions of the second stage. In the light-dependent stage, light energy is captured and used to generate high energy NADPH and ATP. In the light-independent stage (the Calvin cycle), these high energy products are used to fix carbon in the form of energy-rich organic molecules.
