Plants don't eat food to get glucose, like we do. They use sunlight, H2O, and CO2 to make their own glucose in a process called photosynthesis.
These two reactions in this problem are the two reactions that make up the process of photosynthesis.
The light-dependent reaction uses water and energy from light to convert ADP into ATP.
The light-independent reaction ("Calvin Cycle" in pic) then uses that ATP, along with CO2 from the air, to make glucose ("GA3P" in pic, it's not actually glucose but a building block for glucose).
