The Dark Reaction DOES occur at night... I'm just not sure WHY....


What is another name for the light independent reaction?

Light-independent reactions are also known as carbon fixation.Are you talking about the Calvin Cycle/Dark Rxn's in chloroplasts?


Name two stages of photosynthesis?

There is the light-dependent stage, where sunlight interacts with choloropyll to set up an electron-transport chain, then there is the chemical stage, where glucose molecules are synthesized from CO2 and H2O.


Why is the first stage called the light dependent reaction?

it is the first stage because the product of the light dependent reaction is ATP and NADPH+H+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Hydrogen) and these are required in the light independent reaction (calvin-benson cycle) I hope this helps :DDD


What is the name of the process where the light is utilized to produce ATP?

Light reaction or Hill's reaction.


Why is the second stage of photosynthesis called light independent reaction?

The light-independent reactions are sometimes referred to as the dark reactions, though that term may be misleading as they do not actually require darkness to proceed. The term "light-independent" is used to emphasize that the reactions occur regardless of the amount of light present as long as the proper substrate compounds are available. Even this term can be criticized, however, as the availability of substrates in plants depends on photosynthesis, so the reactions cannot be said to be entirely "light-independent." Furthermore, the term "dark reactions" may be more accurate in CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) plants, which only take up CO2, which is necessary for the reactions to proceed, at night.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-independent_reaction


What is the proper name for a chemical reaction that gives out heat?

How did the light reaction get their name?

Because it happens only when light present


Compare and contrast light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis.?

Light dependent reactions : The first stage of the photosynthetic system is the light-dependent reaction, which converts solar energy into chemical energy. The light dependent reaction produces oxygen gas and converts ADP and NADP+ into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH. In plants, light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts and use light energy to synthesize ATP and NADPH. The light dependent reaction has two forms; cyclic and non-cyclic reaction. In the non-cyclic reaction, the photons are captured in the light-harvesting antenna complexes of photosystem II by chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.The cyclic reaction takes place only at photosystem I. Once the electron is displaced from the photosystem, the electron is passed down the electron acceptor molecules and returns back to photosystem I, from where it was emitted; hence the name cyclic reaction. Light-independent reaction : In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions, also somewhat misleadingly called the dark reactions (they don't require darkness, but they do require the products of the light reactions), are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. It occurs in the stroma, the fluid filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes. These reactions, unlike the light-dependent reactions, do not need light to occur; hence the term dark reactions. These reactions take the products of the light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. There are two light-independent reactions: carbon fixation and the Calvin-Benson cycle.
