Differences:

>light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma

>light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't

> dark reactions use the products of the light reactions

>light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step

Similarities:

>both in photosynthesis

Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)

How are the dark reactions that occur in plants dependent on the light-reactions?

The dark reactions that occur in plants are dependent on the light reactions because the dark reactions need ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADPH are energy molecules that dark reactions need to do their job.


True or false The light reactions of photosynthesis can occur only under light conditions and the dark reactions can occur only during the dark hours?

False. The light reactions of photosynthesis require light to convert solar energy into chemical energy, while the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) do not directly rely on light and can occur in both light and dark conditions. However, the dark reactions are indirectly dependent on the products of the light reactions.

What happens during each each of the two stages of photosynthesis?

These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.

Do the dark reactions occur in the thylakoids?

A dark reaction is done in the Calvin Cycle. Light is not needed at the time of the dark reaction but it also doesn't hinder the reaction if there is light at the time.So in short. Yes.

Which reactions require oxygen as a raw material 1 light reactions only 2 dark reactions only 3 both light and dark reactions 4 niether light or dark reactions?

The light reactions of photosynthesis require oxygen as a raw material to produce ATP and NADPH. The dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis do not directly require oxygen as a raw material, but they use the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions. Both light and dark reactions are involved in photosynthesis, but only the light reactions require oxygen as a raw material.
