The two stages of photosynthesis explained in the NCERT Solutions Class 11 Biology Chapter 11 Photosynthesis in Higher Plants are: 

  • Light-dependent reactions (Light reactions) take place in the thylakoid membranes and yield ATP and NADPH.
  • Light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) happen in the stroma and incorporate ATP and NADPH in the production of glucose.
