In brief, photosynthesis consists of two linked sets of reactions. One set is triggered by light; the other set (the Calvin cycle) requires the products of the light-capturing reactions. The light-capturing reactions produce oxygen from water; the Calvin cycle produces sugar from carbon dioxide.

photosynthesis is carried out in two steps, 1) the light reactions which use pigments to capture solar energy and 2) the dark reactions which use the energy from the light reactions to fix atmospherically derived carbon into organic carbon (sugars).
