Photosynthesis used light energy to make food, and it takes place in a chloroplast. Plants are green because of the chlorophylles in chloroplasts. Same as a motpchomdrion, a chloroplast has inner and outer membranes too, and there is fluid in the inner membrane also. But it is not called matrix, it's called stroma. Within the stroma, there are round sacs that someof the steps of photosynthesis take place in, known as thylakoids. These sacs stack themselves together to form a grana. Unlike cellular respiration, photosynthesis "boosts up" the electron to make glucose instread of electron "falling" to produce ATP.
There are two steps in photosynthesis, one is the light reaction and the other is the Calvin cycle. Light reaction's target is to convert energy in sunlight into chemical energy, while the Calvin cycle makes glucose from carbon dioxides with the hydtrogen ions and high-energy electrons carried by NADPH.

2. What are the reactants for photosynthesis? What are the products?
The reactants for photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. It's products are glucose and oxygen.
3. Name the two main stages of photosynthesis. How are the two stages related?
The two main stages are: light reaction and Calvin cycle. The Calvin cycle requires two inputs supplied by the light reaction.
