Light-dependent reactions are in the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplasts. Light-dependent reactions need light energy and are the first step of photosynthesis.
The second step in the Photosynthesis is the Calvin Cycle. It is also known as the Light-Independant Reactions or the Dark Reactions. :3
It take place on thylakoid membranes.It is the first step.
Thylakoids consist of a thylakoid membrane surrounding a thylakoid lumen. Chloroplast thylakoids frequently form stacks of disks referred to as grana (singular: granum). Grana are connected by intergrana or stroma thylakoids, which join granum stacks together as a single functional compartment.
the light reaction is the first step to hydrolysis.No product is envolved except H2O + light in presence of chlorophyll.
Light-dependent reactions are in the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplasts. Light-dependent reactions need light energy and are the first step of photosynthesis.
Differences: >light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma >light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't > dark reactions use the products of the light reactions >light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step Similarities: >both in photosynthesis Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)

The energy from the sun, raises an energy level in the chlorophyll molecule, causing electrons to leave the molecule and travel along the electron transport chain (ETC) in a series of oxidation and reductions. In doing so it releases energy converting ADP+Pi into ATP. Photolysis (splitting of water) occurs, and the electrons produced, replace those lost. This is the Light Dependant stage as it relies on light energy
Light Reaction is other wise known as a light in-dependent reaction.It need Photons(little packages of Light energy) from the sun that goes to the stoma and coverts it over the the next step....(Down Below)Dark Reaction is other wise known as a light dependent reaction. Inside the stoma into the thylakloids(they are little pancake shaped things)and they use ATP (made in light reaction) and NADPH to convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) into Glucose.-MPD-
Pigments like chlorophyll, capture light energy which is used for the first step of photosynthesis, the light dependent reaction.
