What is another name for the dark reactions of photosynthesis?
Calvin cycle or light independent reaction
The proper name for the light independent reaction is?
Calvin cycle
Why can the dark reaction occur in day light hours?
The Dark Reaction DOES occur at night... I'm just not sure WHY....
Name two stages of photosynthesis?
There is the light-dependent stage, where sunlight interacts with choloropyll to set up an electron-transport chain, then there is the chemical stage, where glucose molecules are synthesized from CO2 and H2O.
Why is the first stage called the light dependent reaction?
it is the first stage because the product of the light dependent reaction is ATP and NADPH+H+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Hydrogen) and these are required in the light independent reaction (calvin-benson cycle) I hope this helps :DDD
What is the name of the process where the light is utilized to produce ATP?
Light reaction or Hill's reaction.
Another name for a composition reaction is?
Formation reaction.
How did the light reaction get their name?
Because it happens only when light present
What is the another name for sentence?
independent clause
Compare and contrast light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis.?
Light dependent reactions : The first stage of the photosynthetic system is the light-dependent reaction, which converts solar energy into chemical energy. The light dependent reaction produces oxygen gas and converts ADP and NADP+ into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH. In plants, light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts and use light energy to synthesize ATP and NADPH. The light dependent reaction has two forms; cyclic and non-cyclic reaction. In the non-cyclic reaction, the photons are captured in the light-harvesting antenna complexes of photosystem II by chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.The cyclic reaction takes place only at photosystem I. Once the electron is displaced from the photosystem, the electron is passed down the electron acceptor molecules and returns back to photosystem I, from where it was emitted; hence the name cyclic reaction. Light-independent reaction : In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions, also somewhat misleadingly called the dark reactions (they don't require darkness, but they do require the products of the light reactions), are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. It occurs in the stroma, the fluid filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes. These reactions, unlike the light-dependent reactions, do not need light to occur; hence the term dark reactions. These reactions take the products of the light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. There are two light-independent reactions: carbon fixation and the Calvin-Benson cycle.
Another name for chemical change is what?
Answerchemical reaction
What is another name for hydrolysis?
Another name for hydrolysis is reaction. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction where water reacts with a compound. This produces other compounds.
