Calvin Cycle
What else can I help you with?
Which term is the part of photosynthesis when energy is used to make sugar glucose?
Light-independent reactions
What is light-independent reaction in photosynthesis?
During the Calvin cycle, or light independent reaction, plants use energy that NADPH and ATP contain to build high-energy compounds that can stored up to a long period of time.
The energy acquired in the light-dependent reaction is used in the light-independent reaction to build glucose molecule show is this energy transferred from light-dependent to light-independent react?
Glencoe Science; BIOLOGYLight energy is absorbed and then converted into chemical energy in the form ofATP and NADPH. The ATP and NADPH that were formed in phase one are usedto make glucose.
What is the function of the light independent reaction of photosynthesis?
To provide ATP and NADPH to drive the next part of photosynthesis, the Calvin Cycle (AKA Dark Reaction, Light Independent Reaction). Light reactions also produce oxygen gas as a byproduct.
How sugar is synthesized with a light independent reaction?
It is not.The synthesis of sugar from CO2 and H20 requires the energy of light - it is therefore light dependent.
What is produced during the light dependent reaction and use during the light independent reaction of photosynthesis?
During the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis, light energy is used to split water molecules to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. These products are then used in the light-independent reaction (Calvin Cycle) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
What energy sources utilize during the light independent or dark reaction of phoosynthesis?
From energy rich compound like ATP and NADPH
Why are the reactions of the calvin cycle aslo called the light independent reactions?
Because this reaction proceeds without using light energy.
What are the light independent and dependent stages of photosynthesis?
Light dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH from energy captured from light. Therefore without light it cannot proceed. Light independent reactions fix carbon dioxide into glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions. So light independent reactions can occur without light as long as CO2, ATP and NADPH is present.
How does light dependent and light independent reaction work together?
The Light Reactions Provide Energy Carriers For The Dark Reactions.
What are the reactants and products of a light dependent reaction and a light independent reaction?
In photosynthesis, the reactants of the light-dependent reaction are water and light energy, which are used to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The products of the light-independent reaction (Calvin cycle) are ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide, which are used to produce glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions. The light-dependent reaction occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.
What type of energy is carried by light?
light energy
