The Calvin cycle occurs at any time of the day, while the light dependent reactions require light. The calvin cycle produces glucose, while the light dependent reactions produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The calvin cycle occurs because of the products of the light dependent reactions.
The process of splitting water to release hydrogen ion and electrons along with oxygen is called photolysis. Photolysis occurs during non-cyclic phase of photosynthesis. Photos means light and lysis means splitting. Thus it is evident from the name itself that photolysis is a light dependent step of photosynthesis.
The light-independent stage of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts. Here, carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into sugars using the ATP and NADPH generated during the light-dependent stage.
Photosynthesis occurs in two main steps: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to split water and produce ATP and NADPH. In the light-independent reactions, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
The purpose of the light dependent reaction is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. This process, also known as the light reactions or light-dependent photosynthesis, occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
Glucose is made during the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.
ATP and NADPH
ATP and NADPH
Photosynthesis generates ATP during the light-dependent reactions (photophosphorylation) and NADPH during the light-dependent reactions (photolysis of water and reduction of NADP+ to NADPH).
