Can the light dependant reactions occur without the light independent reactions?

No, the light reactions occur while light is present; however, the Calvin Cycle or light-independent reactions can occur any time. The light-independent reactions require photons, or energy stored from the light reactions, to complete photosynthesis.

What light-independent reactions do plants produce?
The light-independent reactions occur in the storm of the chloroplast. The light- independent reactions are "independent" from light so they can happen else where. The light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast where the light is absorbed, and the reactions depend on the light.
What products from the light dependent reactions are used in the light independent reactions to make a 6 carbon sugar?
Glucose, NADP and ADP
Where do the light- independent reactions occur?
light independent reactions take place in thylakiods- more specifically in the thylakiod membranes of chloroplasts.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are?
Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle Reactions.
What is light independent reaction?
it is a convrsion of energy solar, in the cytoplasm
What is the function of the light independent reactions?
Produces sugar specially G3P .. The light dependant produces ATP and NADPH for light independent reactions to produce sugar from CO2 and RuBP.
What are light -independent reactions often called?
The main processes in the in dependant reactions are collectively called the Calvin Cycle.
Where doe the ATP come fom that is used during the light-independent reactions?
From light dependant reaction.
What are light independent reactions called?
The main processes in the in dependant reactions are collectively called the Calvin Cycle.

What is the main function of The light independent reaction?

What are the reactions of the first stage of photosynthesis?
light dependant reactions
How are light dependent and independent reactions related?
The products of light-dependent reactions are used in light-independent reactions.
Why are the reactions of the calvin cycle aslo called the light independent reactions?
Because this reaction proceeds without using light energy.
What is the first step to photosynthesis?
Light Dependant Reactions
What Light-independent reactions of the photosynthesis are also known as the?
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
What are the carbon fixing reactions that occur in photosynthesis called?
The carbon fixing reactions that occur in photosynthesis is called the anaplerotic reaction. In most cases, the carbon fixing reactions usually occurs in the marine environments.
