Produces sugar specially G3P .. The light dependant produces ATP and NADPH for light independent reactions to produce sugar from CO2 and RuBP.

What are products of the light independent reactions?

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


What is the function of light- dependent reactions?

Build sugar


Photosynthesis takes how many processes?

The plant absorbs CO2 and oxygen. These molecules are used in the Calvin Cycle, which is also called the light-independent reaction. The products of the Calvin Cycle are then used in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC or Light-Dependent Reaction) to produce ATP.


What two reactions occur in photosynthesis?

There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.


What happens in the 'dark reaction' of photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis happens in two main stages, called the light-dependent stage and the light-independent stage. The light-independent stage is sometimes called the 'dark' stage. The light-dependent stage can only happen in the light. During this stage light is absorbed and turned into chemical energy (ATP). Oxygen is also produced. The light-independent stage can happen in the light or the dark ie it is independent of light! However, it needs substances made in the light-dependent stage so it cannot happen completely by itself. In the light-independent stage the energy trapped as ATP in the light-dependent stage is used to change carbon dioxide into sugar (glucose). The Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. CO2 --------> (CH2O) This process requires an energy source and a hydrogen source, as well as carbon dioxide. The energy source is ATP. The hydrogen source is NADPH. Both of these substances are produced by the light-dependent reactions. For more details search this site for "calvin cycle", "light dependent" and l"ight independent".

What are the reactants and products of a light dependent reaction and a light independent reaction?

In photosynthesis, the reactants of the light-dependent reaction are water and light energy, which are used to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The products of the light-independent reaction (Calvin cycle) are ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide, which are used to produce glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions. The light-dependent reaction occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.

A catalyst.


What are the two stages in photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is performed in two stages:Light reactions (or light-dependent reactions): Energy from sunlight is required.Dark reactions (or light-independent reactions): No sunlight is required. However, energy formed by the light-dependent reactions is needed.

What provides the main energy source for the reaction?

The main energy source for a reaction is typically provided by heat, light, or electricity.


What are the three parts of photosynthesis?

The three main parts of photosynthesis are light-dependent reactions, Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions), and electron transport chain. In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle then uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into glucose, while the electron transport chain helps in the production of ATP.


What is the main function of the iris?

The main function of the iris is to regulate the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil. It contracts in bright light to reduce the size of the pupil and dilates in dim light to allow more light to enter the eye.
