it is making two products. Those are NADPH and ATP.
These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.
The light dependent reactions produce Oxygen Gas and convert ADP and NADP+ into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH.
Light reactions occur in the cells chloroplast
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.
The phase of photosynthesis where light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP is called the light-dependent reactions. During these reactions, light is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast, leading to the generation of ATP and reducing power (NADPH) that will be used in the Calvin cycle to produce sugars.
These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.
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 light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts in plant cells. This process uses the products of the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into sugars.
The products of light-dependent reactions are used in light-independent reactions.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
It happens in the chloroplasts. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoids. The calvin cycle (light-independent), occur in the stroma.
Light-dependent reactions are those that require light to proceed.
