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.
What else can I help you with?
What is another name for the dark reactions of photosynthesis?
Calvin cycle or light independent reaction
What light-independent reactions do plants produce?
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.
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.
Where do the light- independent reactions occur?
light independent reactions take place in thylakiods- more specifically in the thylakiod membranes of chloroplasts.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are?
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
What is the function of the light independent reactions?
Produces sugar specially G3P .. The light dependant produces ATP and NADPH for light independent reactions to produce sugar from CO2 and RuBP.
Where doe the ATP come fom that is used during the light-independent reactions?
From light dependant reaction.
What are light -independent reactions often called?
The main processes in the in dependant reactions are collectively called the Calvin Cycle.
What are light independent reactions called?
The main processes in the in dependant reactions are collectively called the Calvin Cycle.
What is the 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 are the reactions of the first stage of photosynthesis?
light dependant reactions
How are light dependent and independent reactions related?
The products of light-dependent reactions are used in light-independent reactions.
Why are the reactions of the calvin cycle aslo called the light independent reactions?
Because this reaction proceeds without using light energy.
What is the first step to photosynthesis?
Light Dependant Reactions
What Light-independent reactions of the photosynthesis are also known as the?
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
What is a series of photosynthetic reactions in which carbon dioxide is fixed and reduced in chloroplast?
light-dependant reactions
What are the carbon fixing reactions that occur in photosynthesis called?
The carbon fixing reactions in photosynthesis are called the Calvin cycle or the light-independent reactions. In this process, carbon dioxide is converted into organic molecules with the help of ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.
