The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
light reactions and Calvin cycle reactions
Many of the chemical reactions in photosynthesis are redox reactions, involving both reduction and oxidation processes. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is reduced to sugars, while water is oxidized to produce oxygen.
The pigment directly involved is the green pigment called 'chlorophyll' and is found in the chloroplats.
The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.
The plant contains chloroplasts in many of its cells. These chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis.
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.
The initial reactions in photosynthesis are known as the light-dependent reactions. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and involve the absorption of light energy to drive the conversion of water into oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.
light dependant reactions
There are many organelles that are involved either directly or indirectly to photosynthesis, although the of the process is the chloroplast.
Yes, light is common to both cellular respiration and the light reactions of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, light energy is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. In cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is released through a series of reactions to produce ATP, and light is not directly involved in this process.
