Is glucose made during light-dependent or light-independent reactions?
In the light independent reaction which takes place in the stroma turning carbon dioxide into glucose
What is made during the light dependent reaction and used during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
What does light dependent reaction need to proceed?
The light-dependent reaction can only occur in the light because light supplies the energy needed for the reaction. In this stage of photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy (ATP) and 'reducing power' (NADPH) which are then used in the light-independent reaction. Also in the light-dependent reaction, water is split to provide the hydrogen needed to make NADPH. The light-independent reaction can take place in the light andthe dark, i.e., it is independent of the light! However, it needs the products of the light-dependent reaction (ATP and NADPH), so it cannot continue indefinitely without it. In the light-independent reaction, the ATP and NADPH produced by the light-dependent reaction are used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrate, e.g., glucose. This happens in a series or reactions called the Calvin cycle. A link is provided.
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.
How Is the light made by algae natural?
Light is made by algae by a chemical reaction that the algae produces in order for the algae itself to have enough food to survive. I suppose it is quite a natural and interesting chemical reaction.
How do plant cells use photosynthesis to produce food?
Photosynthesis is a two part process. The first part is the light dependent reaction and it needs light. Light energy is used to make ATP (which takes place in the membrane of the thylakoid). The second part is the Calvin cycle/ light independent reaction and it doesnt need light. It uses the ATP that was made in the light dependent reaction to make glucose (which takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast). Glucose is the food.

Light Reaction and Dark Reaction?
Light Reaction is other wise known as a light in-dependent reaction.It need Photons(little packages of Light energy) from the sun that goes to the stoma and coverts it over the the next step....(Down Below)Dark Reaction is other wise known as a light dependent reaction. Inside the stoma into the thylakloids(they are little pancake shaped things)and they use ATP (made in light reaction) and NADPH to convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) into Glucose.-MPD-

What are the starting molecules for light independent reactions?
ATP and NADPH
Photosynthesis consists of two types of reactions?
There is a light reaction and a dark reaction (the Calvin Cycle). The light reaction is divided into 3 parts, Photosystem II, the Electron Transport Chain, and Photosystem I. The light reaction begins in Photosystem II when light hits the thylakoid so the chlorophyll loses and electron, and the electron moves up in energy levels and reaches the primary anceptor. From here it passes through the electron transport chain which is similar to the electron transport chain in cellular respiration, but it occurs in the thykaloids proton gradient is reversed through the membrane. Then it enters phtosystem I which is essentially the same thing as photosystem I, and the electrons from there pass through another electron transport chain. This produces ATP and NADPH which are used in the dark reaction, or Calvin Cycle, which is again similar to the Citric Acid Cycle but it begins with Acetyl acetate and produces 2 ATP 6 NADH and 1 FADH 2 per every 2 turns which are required to produce one glucose molecule, the ultimate goal of photosynthesis. I hope this was enough detail.
What are two things made in the light reaction that are used in the light independentant reaction?
ATP and NADPH .
What happens in the thylakoid membranes?
Thylakoids consist of a thylakoid membrane surrounding a thylakoid lumen. Chloroplast thylakoids frequently form stacks of disks referred to as grana (singular: granum). Grana are connected by intergrana or stroma thylakoids, which join granum stacks together as a single functional compartment.
What molecule is made during the light dependent reactions?
Glucose
