the light reaction requires energy from the sun in the form of photons. these photons excite the electrons in photosystem II and results in the electrons passing through a series of redox reactions (creating a proton gradient that through chemiosmosis turns ADP into ATP) and replaces the missing electrons of photosystem I. then when photons hit photosystem II the electrons are re-energized and go through the reaction to reach NADP+ and though NADP+ reductase are accepted by the newly formed NADPH.

so in short the products of the light reaction is what is required by the dark reaction (as well as 3 CO2)

Does the dark reaction of photosynthesis require direct sun light energy to be proceed?

No, the dark reaction of photosynthesis (also known as the Calvin cycle) does not require direct sunlight energy to proceed. It is dependent on the products of the light reaction (ATP and NADPH) that are formed with the help of sunlight during the light-dependent reactions. These products are then used in the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.


Why must the light reaction occur before the dark reaction?

The light reaction produces ATP and NADPH, which are needed to fuel the dark reaction. The dark reaction (Calvin Cycle) uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reaction to fuel the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. In essence, the light reaction provides the energy source that drives the dark reaction.


Which reaction makes ADP light or dark?

It is the light reaction. Then they moves to dark reaction


Why is light reaction of photosynthesis essential for the dark reaction to proceed?

why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?


The proper name for the light independent reaction is?

The proper name for the light-independent reaction is the Calvin Cycle. It is also known as the dark reaction or the carbon fixation process because it does not directly require light to occur.


What is dark reaction process?

* the second phase of photosynthesis, that does not require the presence of light, during which ATP releases stored energy that is used to convert carbon dioxide molecules into sugars and other nutrients * The dark reactions of photosynthesis doesn't require the presence of light to photosynthesize. * The second stage of photosynthesis, not requiring light to occur, and during which energy released from ATP drives the production of organic molecules from carbon dioxide. * there are 2 main stages in potosyntesis. the light reaction occurs only in the presence of light while dark reaction happens both when there is light and when it is dark.


What happens during dark reaction phase and light reaction phase in photosynthesis?

In the light reaction phase of photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. These energy carriers are then used in the dark reaction phase, also known as the Calvin Cycle, to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. The dark reaction does not require direct light and takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.


Why light reaction first before dark reaction?

There must be a light reaction first before dark reaction. This is so that there is something to be compared.


How are Light and Dark reaction the reverse of each other?

Light reactions require light to fix photons into Redox molecules. These are temporary, and to fix this energy for long term storage, the plants use the 'dark reactions' such as the Calvin cycle. It is sort of a misnomer, because they don't HAVE to occur in the dark, just that they don't require light.


Why is possible for Calvin cycle to occur in the dark?

The Calvin cycle is called the dark cycle because it does not require light to proceed. Unlike light reactions, the Calvin cycle is a light-independent reaction, which means it can and will occur in the dark as well as the light.


Which part of chloroplast to the dark reaction occur?

The dark reaction, also known as the Calvin cycle, occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. It does not require light to proceed and is responsible for capturing carbon dioxide and converting it into sugars through a series of enzymatic reactions.


Why can the dark reaction occur in day light hours?

The dark reaction, also known as the Calvin cycle, can occur during daylight hours because it does not directly require light energy to proceed. It uses the ATP and NADPH generated during the light-dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugars. So even though it doesn't rely on light for its energy source, it still benefits from the products of the light-dependent reactions that happen during the day.
