Light is absorbed where it is converted into energy via the light reactions. It is then transfered to the Calvin Cycle, where it is used to make stored energy, and the used ATP (energy) units are recycled to the light reactions and the process repeats.

What light-independent reactions do plants produce?

The light-independent reactions occur in the storm of the chloroplast. The light- independent reactions are "independent" from light so they can happen else where. The light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast where the light is absorbed, and the reactions depend on the light.


How are light dependent and independent reactions related?

The products of light-dependent reactions are used in light-independent reactions.


Where in the chloroplasts does the light-independent reaction occur?

What Light-independent reactions of the photosynthesis are also known as the?

The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.


Can photosynthesis happen during nighttime?

yes,there are two reactions the light dependent and the light independent.pen the light independent is the reaction where the photosynthesis happen nighttime.


What are the two stage of photosyntesis?

A series of light-dependent reactions that are temperature independent, and a series of temperature-dependent reactions that are light independent.


What is the difference between the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions?

light dependent reactions only occur in light this means thier reations increases with light intensity while light independent can occur in the dark


What are products of the light independent reactions?

The main purpose of the light independent reaction is to produce glucose.


What are light independent and dependent reactions?

Light dependent reactions are reactions the capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy(ATP). It occur in the chloroplast of plant cells Light independent reactions are reactions capture energy and use it to produce food . It does not need sunlight


What is another name for the dark reactions of photosynthesis?

Calvin cycle or light independent reaction


Can the light dependant reactions occur without the light independent reactions?

No, the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis cannot occur without the light-independent reactions. The light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, require light energy to produce ATP and NADPH. These molecules are then used in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Thus, both sets of reactions are interdependent and necessary for the complete process of photosynthesis.


Where in plants does photosynthesis happen?

It happens in the chloroplasts. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoids. The calvin cycle (light-independent), occur in the stroma.
