There must be a light reaction first before dark reaction. This is so that there is something to be compared.
The bi product of the light reaction triggers the dark reaction.
The Light Dependent process and then the Light Independent process (known as the Calvin Cycle).
It is the light reaction. Then they moves to dark reaction
The first pathway of photosynthesis is the light reaction, which is the absorption of light energy from the sun by the chlorophyll in the plant. The pathway that follows this is the dark reaction or carbon fixation.
without ATP and (NADPH +H+) WE cannot run the dark reaction.and this molecules are produced from the light reaction.

why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
The Light Dependent process and then the Light Independent process (known as the Calvin Cycle).
1st-Light reaction 2nd-Dark reaction

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 :)

Dark reaction needs energy. this energy is supplied by light reaction
light reaction and dark reaction
The Dark Reaction DOES occur at night... I'm just not sure WHY....
