What two types of reactions occur during photosynthesis?

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.


Can the light dependant reactions occur without the light independent reactions?

No, the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis cannot occur without the light-independent reactions. The light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, require light energy to produce ATP and NADPH. These molecules are then used in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Thus, both sets of reactions are interdependent and necessary for the complete process of photosynthesis.


Why is possible for Calvin cycle to occur in the dark?

The Calvin cycle is called the dark cycle because it does not require light to proceed. Unlike light reactions, the Calvin cycle is a light-independent reaction, which means it can and will occur in the dark as well as the light.


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.


What site in the chloroplast where Calvin cycle or light independent reaction takes place?

in the stroma

What process does adenosine triphosphate occur?

it occurs in light independent reaction!!!


Do you need light for the light independent reaction to occur?

no you dont. you need complete darkness to allow the reaction to properly experimise


The proper name for the light independent reaction is?

The proper name for the light-independent reaction is the Calvin Cycle. It is also known as the dark reaction or the carbon fixation process because it does not directly require light to occur.


Where in the chloroplasts does the light-independent reaction occur?

The light-independent reactions occur in the storm of the chloroplast. The light- independent reactions are "independent" from light so they can happen else where. The light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast where the light is absorbed, and the reactions depend on the light.


Where do the independent reaction occur?

light independent reactions take place in thylakiods- more specifically in the thylakiod membranes of chloroplasts.

What organelle does the light independent reaction occur?

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the stroma of the chloroplast, which is a specialized organelle found in plant cells. This is where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose through a series of chemical reactions known as the Calvin cycle.


What is the difference between the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions?

light dependent reactions only occur in light this means thier reations increases with light intensity while light independent can occur in the dark


Which term is the part of photosynthesis when energy is used to make sugar glucose?

Light-independent reactions


What are products of the light independent reactions?

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


What two reactions occur in photosynthesis?

There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.


What are the products in the independent reactions?

The light independent reaction produces Glucose
