Trapping the light energy and synthesis of ATP and NADPH take place in grana. This set of two reactions are light dependent. So it is called light reaction. The biosynthetic phase where in CO2 and water are converted to Glucose by utilising end products of light reaction occurs in stroma. This set of reactions are together called dark reactions as it do not directly depend up on light.
