Best Answer

Molecular oxygen is formed in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. This occurs in the electron transport chain in the protein complexes of the thylakoid membrane. The water splitting complex yields oxygen, hydrogen ions and electrons.

NO, Calvin cycle is only responsible for making glucose for CO2

*Molecular oxygen is produced when light is used to split a part water molecules in photosyntheis I

No, the only products of the reduction phase are ADP, NADP+, Pi, and G3P.

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in the dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis, and oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis.


What is the by product made in photosynthesis?

The byproducts of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. These are made when the processes known as the Kalvin Cycle and the Krebs Cycle.

What is released in light reactions of photosynthesis and which of these products does not participate in the dark reactions?

the light reaction is the first step to hydrolysis.No product is envolved except H2O + light in presence of chlorophyll.


What are the reactions of the first stage of the photosynthesis called?

This is called the light phase oh photosynthesis as opposed to the dark phase. During the light phase, photons excite enzymes on the thylakoid. Also can be known as Light-Dependent Reactions


How are light reactions and dark reactions similar and different?

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 :)
