Verified step by step guidance

Understand the process of photosynthesis, which consists of two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, leading to the production of ATP and NADPH.

The light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts and use ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Photoreduction is a part of the light-dependent reactions where electrons are transferred to NADP+ to form NADPH.

The term 'Photocycle' is not associated with the standard processes of photosynthesis, making it the correct answer as the option that is not a part of photosynthesis.
