Photosynthesis in plants occurs in two stages. These stages are known as the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.
The first stage of photosynthesis is the light dependent reactions. These reactions take place on the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplast. During this stage light energy is converted to ATP (chemical energy) and NADPH (reducing power).
<span>The second stage of photosynthesis is the Calvin Cycle. These reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplast. Energy from ATP and electrons from NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose and other products.</span>
The systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder that may be linked to both environmental and genetic factors. This disease is caused by the own immune system (i.e., antibodies) that is directed against the body's tissues in a healthy person.
