calvin cycle
Light dependent reactions were discovered by Hill, thus are also known as Hill's Light Reactions.
The light-independent reactions, or Calvin cycle, require ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These energy carriers provide the necessary energy and reducing power to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Although they are termed "light-independent," these reactions still depend on the products of the light-dependent phase to function effectively.
Light dependent reactions of photosynthesis are also known as the light reactions. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and involve the absorption of light energy to produce ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to generate glucose. Oxygen is also produced as a byproduct of these reactions.
The dark reactions of photosynthesis are also known as the Calvin cycle or the light-independent reactions. These reactions take place in the stroma of chloroplasts and involve the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.
The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis primarily produce ATP, NADPH, and oxygen. Therefore, a product that is not generated during this process is glucose. Glucose is synthesized later in the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle.
Calvin cycle does not belong in this phrase as it is a part of the light-independent reactions (also known as the Calvin cycle), while the other two, light dependent reactions and chlorophyll, are related to the process of photosynthesis that occurs in the presence of light.
The purpose of the light dependent reaction is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. This process, also known as the light reactions or light-dependent photosynthesis, occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
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
The two main reactions in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle. Light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The Calvin Cycle, which is also known as the light-independent reactions, takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts and involves the production of glucose from carbon dioxide using ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.

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.
Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and require sunlight to convert light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH while splitting water molecules to release oxygen. In contrast, light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, take place in the stroma and do not require light directly; they utilize ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide into glucose. Essentially, light-dependent reactions capture energy, while light-independent reactions use that energy to synthesize organic molecules.
