How sugar is synthesized with a light independent reaction?
It is not.The synthesis of sugar from CO2 and H20 requires the energy of light - it is therefore light dependent.
Why are the product of the light reaction of photosynthesis important?
They are used to produce sugar during the dark reaction
Which term is the part of photosynthesis when energy is used to make sugar glucose?
Light-independent reactions
What happens in the 'dark reaction' of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis happens in two main stages, called the light-dependent stage and the light-independent stage. The light-independent stage is sometimes called the 'dark' stage. The light-dependent stage can only happen in the light. During this stage light is absorbed and turned into chemical energy (ATP). Oxygen is also produced. The light-independent stage can happen in the light or the dark ie it is independent of light! However, it needs substances made in the light-dependent stage so it cannot happen completely by itself. In the light-independent stage the energy trapped as ATP in the light-dependent stage is used to change carbon dioxide into sugar (glucose). The Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. CO2 --------> (CH2O) This process requires an energy source and a hydrogen source, as well as carbon dioxide. The energy source is ATP. The hydrogen source is NADPH. Both of these substances are produced by the light-dependent reactions. For more details search this site for "calvin cycle", "light dependent" and l"ight independent".

What is the main function of The light independent reaction?
Produces sugar specially G3P .. The light dependant produces ATP and NADPH for light independent reactions to produce sugar from CO2 and RuBP.

What is the chemical equation of mercury II oxide?
The light DEPENDENT reaction is the first one - and it is, obviously, reliant on sunlight. The energy from the sunlight, along with water are converted into ATP (chemical energy) and electron carriers (NADPH). Basically, you haven't really formed any sugar in the light dependent reaction yet...you're just setting it up for the light independent reaction. (By the way, this reaction happens in the grana of the chloroplast.)The light INDEPENDENT reaction takes the energy and electron carriers from the previous reaction and uses them to turn carbon dioxide into glucose. This reaction doesn't need light...but it will cease if it uses up all the chemical energy. This reaction happens in th stroma of the chloroplast.Source(s):AP Bio student
What is the purpose of Light-independent reaction?
To produce Sugar or Carbhydrates.
Why are the product of the light reaction of photosynthesis important?
They are used to produce sugar during the dark reaction
What products from the light dependent reactions are used in the light independent reactions to make a 6 carbon sugar?
Glucose, NADP and ADP

What happens in the thylakoid membranes?
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.
CO2 H2O light energy sugar O2?
Yes, this is the photosynthesis reaction.
Is photolysis in the Calvin cycle?
The Calvin Cycle take in CO2 and gives off sugar (CH2O).
