* Carbon dioxide (CO2): This is the primary source of carbon for the plant.
* ATP (adenosine triphosphate): This is the energy currency of the cell, produced during the light-dependent reactions.
* NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate): This is a reducing agent, also produced during the light-dependent reactions.
These raw materials are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a sugar that the plant can use for energy and growth.
