Is carbon dioxide taken into the chloroplast during light dependent reactions?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
No, carbon dioxide is not taken into the chloroplast during the light-dependent reactions. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Carbon dioxide is actually taken in during the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle or dark reactions, which occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.

What is a series of photosynthetic reactions in which carbon dioxide is fixed and reduced in chloroplast?
light-dependant reactions
Carbon dioxide molecules enter the light-dependent reactions from the atmosphere?
false
What molecule is recycled between the Calvin cycle and the light dependent reactions during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
Where does carbon dioxide gas production happen within the mitochondria or chloroplasts?
in the chloroplast
What is the Site for carbohydrate production during light independent reaction?
The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. These reactions occur in the stroma, the fluid-filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes. These reactions take the light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. There are three phases to the light-independent reactions, collectively called the Calvin cycle: carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration.

light-dependant reactions
What are gas of the light dependent reactions in photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide
What light-independent reactions do plants produce?
The light-independent reactions occur in the storm of the chloroplast. The light- independent reactions are "independent" from light so they can happen else where. The light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast where the light is absorbed, and the reactions depend on the light.
How do carbon dioxide molecules enter the light dependent reactions?
false its light independent reactions
Carbon dioxide molecules enter the light-dependent reactions from the atmosphere?
false
What is a photosynthetic unit?
A photosynthetic unit is a unit that carries out photosynthesis. It would be an organelle of a plant cell, a chloroplast. The cholorphyll the green pigment in the chloroplasts absorb the light and through the light dependent reactions and light independent reactions carbon dioxide and water is converted into glucose
What molecule is recycled between the Calvin cycle and the light dependent reactions during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
How does light and dark reactions takes place?
The light dependent reaction occurs in the chloroplast. In the light dependent reaction, chlorophyll pigments absorb solar energy. This energy is then converted into a chemical form (not glucose). The water molecule is split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. The dark reaction or the carbon fixation period occurs in the fluid matrix or stroma of chloroplast. The hydrogen product from the first reaction is combined with the carbon dioxide molecules to makes sugars. This results in the C3 or C4 cycle.
Do light dependent reactions convert oxygen into carbon dioxide?
No, carbon dioxide is generally produced by some kind of combustion or oxidation reaction that does not require light (but which may produce light, if it is fire). Photosynthesis is the most important type of light dependent reaction, and it consumes carbon dioxide, rather than producing it.

in the chloroplast

What is true about combustion reactions?
Carbon dioxide will be a product. APEX: These reactions are always redoxx reactions. The products will always be carbon dioxide and water.
