Why are light dependent reactions important to the light independent reaction?

Light-dependent reactions use light to create ATP and NADPH/Reduced NADP Which is used on the Calvin cycle so of it is not present the cycle cannot continue.

Is glucose made during light-dependent or light-independent reactions?
In the light independent reaction which takes place in the stroma turning carbon dioxide into glucose
What two reactions occur in photosynthesis?
There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
What are the light independent and dependent stages of photosynthesis?
Light dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH from energy captured from light. Therefore without light it cannot proceed. Light independent reactions fix carbon dioxide into glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions. So light independent reactions can occur without light as long as CO2, ATP and NADPH is present.
What is made during the light dependent reaction and used during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
What are the starting molecules for light independent reactions?
ATP and NADPH
Are photosynthetic pigments a part of the light dependent or light independent reactions?
The light dependent reaction, of course.
What are the reactants and products of a light dependent reaction and a light independent reaction?
The reactants of light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis are H20 (water), ADP, and NADP+.The products of light-dependent pathways of photosynthesis are Oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.The reactants of light-independent reactions are ATP, NADPH, and Carbon Dioxide.The main purpose of the light independent reaction is to produce glucose.
What are the two stages in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is performed in two stages:Light reactions (or light-dependent reactions): Energy from sunlight is required.Dark reactions (or light-independent reactions): No sunlight is required. However, energy formed by the light-dependent reactions is needed.
Is glucose made during light-dependent or light-independent reactions?
In the light independent reaction which takes place in the stroma turning carbon dioxide into glucose
What two reactions occur in photosynthesis?
There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
Compare and contrast light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis.?
Light dependent reactions : The first stage of the photosynthetic system is the light-dependent reaction, which converts solar energy into chemical energy. The light dependent reaction produces oxygen gas and converts ADP and NADP+ into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH. In plants, light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts and use light energy to synthesize ATP and NADPH. The light dependent reaction has two forms; cyclic and non-cyclic reaction. In the non-cyclic reaction, the photons are captured in the light-harvesting antenna complexes of photosystem II by chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.The cyclic reaction takes place only at photosystem I. Once the electron is displaced from the photosystem, the electron is passed down the electron acceptor molecules and returns back to photosystem I, from where it was emitted; hence the name cyclic reaction. Light-independent reaction : In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions, also somewhat misleadingly called the dark reactions (they don't require darkness, but they do require the products of the light reactions), are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. It occurs in the stroma, the fluid filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes. These reactions, unlike the light-dependent reactions, do not need light to occur; hence the term dark reactions. These reactions take the products of the light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. There are two light-independent reactions: carbon fixation and the Calvin-Benson cycle.
What are the light independent and dependent stages of photosynthesis?
Light dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH from energy captured from light. Therefore without light it cannot proceed. Light independent reactions fix carbon dioxide into glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions. So light independent reactions can occur without light as long as CO2, ATP and NADPH is present.

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.
