The plasma membrane, or the cell membrane, provides protection for a cell. It also provides a fixed environment inside the cell. And that membrane has several different functions. One is to transport nutrients into the cell and also to transport toxic substances out of the cell.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer;

The L-D reactions require light energy and water, and the L-IND reactions require ATP, NADPH and CO2.

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use light energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic molecules, such as simple sugars.

-The process takes place in two phases; light dependent stage and light independent stage.

-During light dependent stage light energy is used to break down water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms.

-Light independent reactions uses CO2 and the ATP and NADPH from light dependent reactions to produce sugar/ glucose. ATP is used to provide the energy for sugar synthesis and NADPH is used for electrons in the reduction of Carbon Dioxide into sugar.
