How do the light dependent reactions differ from the Calvin cycle?

The Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. CO2 --------> (CH2O) This process requires an energy source and a hydrogen source, as well as carbon dioxide. The energy source is ATP. The hydrogen source is NADPH. Both of these substances are produced by the light-dependent reactions. For more details search this site for "calvin cycle", "light dependent" and l"ight independent". Also see: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/photosynth/calvin1.html
Light dependent - are photochemical reactions and involve excited electrons moving along an electron transport chain and result in the production of ATP and NAD PH which are used in the Calvin Cycle. There are no enzymes in the light stage and temperature has no effect on this stage. Reactions occur in the Alkaid membranes of the chloroplasts. The Calvin Cycle uses the ATP and NAD PH to fix CO2 using enzymes and so is affected by temperature. Reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

How does the Calvin cycle differ from the light-dependent reactions?
1. Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma and light- dependent reactions take place in the granum, also light is not required for all the reactions of Calvin cycle.2. Calvin cycle assimilates CO2 to form organic compounds whereas in light reactions photolysis of water leads the formation of energy rich inorganic compounds.
What is the difference between the light dependent and the dark reactions of the Calvin cycle?
What is the difference between the light dependent and the dark reactions of the calvin cycle?
The Calvin cycle performs the light dependent reactions?
false
Why are light dependent reactions important to the light independent reaction?
Light-dependent reactions use light to create ATP and NADPH/Reduced NADP Which is used on the Calvin cycle so of it is not present the cycle cannot continue.
Which substance from the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is a source of energy for the Calvin cycle?
NADPH

What does not belong in this phrase light dependent reactions Calvin cycle chlorophyll?
Calvin Cycle
What is the difference between the light dependent and the dark reactions of the Calvin cycle?
What is the difference between the light dependent and the dark reactions of the calvin cycle?
What is the differences between the light dependent reactions?
The Calvin cycle occurs at any time of the day, while the light dependent reactions require light. The calvin cycle produces glucose, while the light dependent reactions produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The calvin cycle occurs because of the products of the light dependent reactions.
What are the two main stages for photosynthesis?
The light dependent stage and the light independent stage.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are?
Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle Reactions.
Light dependent reactions are also known as?
calvin cycle
The Calvin cycle performs the light dependent reactions?
false
What does the process of photosynthesis includes?
light dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
What are light dependent reactions of photosynthesis also known as?
It is the calvin cycle. It is the second step of photosynthesis.
What is different between the Calvin cycle and light-dependent reactions?
Light dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane. The Calvin Cycle takes place in the stroma. The light dependent reactions use light energy to make ATP and NADPH. The Calvin Cycle uses these to make CA3P and Co2.
What products of the light dependent reactions is used in the Calvin cycle?
NADPH and ATP
