What is the process of photosynthesis

This is the process of making glucose in plants. Photosynthesis goes through two individual stages:  
Stage 1: Light dependent reaction (depends on the presence of light; it can’t happen in the dark) 
Stage 2: Light independent (dark reaction) (works in the absence of light, but calling it a dark reaction might be misleading; It can just as well happen in the presence of light).
