.ATP and NADPH
why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
Light is important in photosynthesis because it is what makes the chemical reaction between carbon dioxide and water. This allows glucose to be made.
Oxygen is produced during light reaction. Carbon dioxide is used in dark reaction.
The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.

ATP and NADPH
Light allows photosynthesis to occur. Therefore more light=faster reaction.
Water is the molecule that is split during the light reaction of photosynthesis when releasing oxygen.
6CO2+6H2O+light energy-->C6H12O6+6O2 Chemical reaction of Photosynthesis
light strikes the chloroplast.
