The initial reactions in photosynthesis are the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions
Photosynthesis consists of light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. These light reactions occur within the chloroplast thylakoids, where the aforementioned chlorophyll pigments are found.
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
Light-dependent reactions are in the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplasts. Light-dependent reactions need light energy and are the first step of photosynthesis.
sources for light reactions: solar energy (sunlight) and water
Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle Reactions.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
The products of light-dependent reactions are used in light-independent reactions.
The initial reactions in photosynthesis are the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions
Light-dependent reactions are those that require light to proceed.
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 :)
