Solution

Photosynthesis involves light reaction and dark reaction. During light reaction, the chlorophyll present in the (1) chloroplast gets activated by absorbing light energy. This energy splits (2) water molecules to (3) hydrogen ions and oxygen and releases two electrons. This process is called (4) photolysis. The (5) hydrogen ions are picked up by NADP to form (6) NADPH. The ADP is converted to (7) ATP. This process is called (8) photophosphorylation. During the dark phase, the compound produced at the end of the light reaction reacts with carbon dioxide to form (9) glucose. This product is converted to starch. The process is called (10) dark reaction.
