- Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
- Conversion of light energy to chemical energy and splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
- Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.

Explanation
- The question directly asks you to list three events, so a numbered list is ideal — no extra elaboration needed.
- These three points are explicitly stated in the textbook as "(i), (ii), (iii)" under "What actually happens during photosynthesis," so reproduce them as given.
- Each point carries 1 mark, so one clear line per point is sufficient.
- Avoid mixing in details about stomata, starch storage, or chloroplasts — those are not the "events" asked for here.
