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.
Why is the second stage of photosynthesis called light independent reaction?
The light-independent reactions are sometimes referred to as the dark reactions, though that term may be misleading as they do not actually require darkness to proceed. The term "light-independent" is used to emphasize that the reactions occur regardless of the amount of light present as long as the proper substrate compounds are available. Even this term can be criticized, however, as the availability of substrates in plants depends on photosynthesis, so the reactions cannot be said to be entirely "light-independent." Furthermore, the term "dark reactions" may be more accurate in CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) plants, which only take up CO2, which is necessary for the reactions to proceed, at night.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-independent_reaction
What is the process in which producers make energy-rich nutrient molecules from chemicals?
photosynthesis is the reaction that converts thee suns energy into a form that we can use. there are many other chemical reactions involved in food but it all starts with photosynthesis. this is even responsible for our petrol gas and coal.
Name a gas released as by product of the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
Oxygen is released as a by product of photosynthesis.
What is a catchy project name for Photosynthesis?
A catchy project name? Well it doesn't really matter what the name is as long as you think of it. You can try to think of what photosynthesis is and then figure out the name from there.
Does photosynthesis have to happen in the dark?
Plants need photons in order to photosynthesize. There are photons which we cannot see, such as UV rays, but most plant energy comes from light which we can see. Also, remember that different plants absorb different kinds of light.
What are the various chemical reactions that organisms carry out?
Photosynthesis and respiration, to name a few
What is the name of the starting material for dark reactions?
carbon dioxide
What happens during the second during photosynthesis?
the Calvin cycle. it is when the ATP and NADH are used up to form PGAL. Another name for this is the dark reaction.
What is another word for photosynthesis such as energy?
the other name of photosynthesis is reverse osmosis
What is another name for the light independent reaction?
Light-independent reactions are also known as carbon fixation.Are you talking about the Calvin Cycle/Dark Rxn's in chloroplasts?
Who is the dark reaction named for?
The dark reaction of photosynthesis is named after Melvin Calvin who discovered it, hence the other name for it, The Calvin Cycle.
What is another name for light dependent reations of photosynthesis?
The exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy (photosynthesis). The product of light dependant reactions is called endergonic reaction. It is a chemical reaction that requires energy.
What is the name for the first and second stage of photosynthesis?
1st-Light reaction 2nd-Dark reaction
What is another word for photosynthesis?
There isn't another word for photosynthesis. It is the name of a process that plants process energy from light to create their own food.
What is the name for light independent reactions?
Light-independent reactions are also known as carbon fixation.Are you talking about the Calvin Cycle/Dark Rxn's in chloroplasts?
What is another name for goth?
another name for a goth is 'The Dark Style' or 'Emo'.
