As light is absorbed the electrons pass through the pigments. The energy passes through the PEA molecules in the thykaloid membrane. The energy moves through the electron transport chain. The energy has been replenished. Water splitting occurs in the Calvin Cycle. All of the energies are paired with a H plus ion.
There are two steps. Light dependent and light independant reactions
Photosynthesis occurs in two main steps: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to split water and produce ATP and NADPH. In the light-independent reactions, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
The main steps of photosynthesis are light reactions and Calvin cycle. In the light reactions, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH). In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions.
The two steps in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes and require light to produce ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) that occur in the stroma and use ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into sugar.
The light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, occur in the stroma of chloroplasts and involve the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose through a series of enzyme-controlled steps. These reactions do not directly require light to occur but rely on the products of the light-dependent reactions, such as ATP and NADPH, for their energy source.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
The products of light-dependent reactions are used in light-independent reactions.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
Light-dependent reactions are those that require light to proceed.
Differences: >light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma >light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't > dark reactions use the products of the light reactions >light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step Similarities: >both in photosynthesis Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)
Photosynthesis consists of light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. These light reactions occur within the chloroplast thylakoids, where the aforementioned chlorophyll pigments are found.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
