it breaks down ATP.
The initial reactions in photosynthesis are known as the light-dependent reactions. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and involve the absorption of light energy to drive the conversion of water into oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.
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.
False. The light reactions of photosynthesis require light to convert solar energy into chemical energy, while the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) do not directly rely on light and can occur in both light and dark conditions. However, the dark reactions are indirectly dependent on the products of the light reactions.
light dependant reactions
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.
The light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. The primary goal of the light reactions is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Water is split during the light reactions to provide electrons for the photosystems. The light reactions produce oxygen as a byproduct.
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.
The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.
There are two reactions. Those are light dependent and independent.
Glucose
This is called the light phase oh photosynthesis as opposed to the dark phase. During the light phase, photons excite enzymes on the thylakoid. Also can be known as Light-Dependent Reactions
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
