Do light dependent reactions convert oxygen into carbon dioxide?

No, carbon dioxide is generally produced by some kind of combustion or oxidation reaction that does not require light (but which may produce light, if it is fire). Photosynthesis is the most important type of light dependent reaction, and it consumes carbon dioxide, rather than producing it.

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.
Does plants need sunlight to make sugar as long as they have a source of carbon dioxide and water?
Plants still need sunlight for the light-dependent reactions (photosystem 2 & 1 and ETC) to make ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle which requires no sunlight.
What does bacteria convert the contaminants into?
carbon dioxide and water
What are the 2 main reactions in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis happens in two stages, also called reactions. The first stage is the light-dependent stage. In this stage light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy, and water is split to produce hydrogen. The unwanted oxygen from the water is released. The second stage is the light-independent stage. In this stage the chemical energy and the hydrogen from the first stage are used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, such as glucose. More details can be found on this site by searching for photosynthesis.
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 are gas of the light dependent reactions in photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide
How do carbon dioxide molecules enter the light dependent reactions?
false its light independent reactions
Carbon dioxide molecules enter the light-dependent reactions from the atmosphere?
false
Is carbon dioxide taken into the chloroplast during light dependent reactions?
No, carbon dioxide is not taken into the chloroplast during the light-dependent reactions. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Carbon dioxide is actually taken in during the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle or dark reactions, which occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
What molecule is recycled between the Calvin cycle and the light dependent reactions during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
What is the role of energy in photosynthesis?
The energy formed in the light reactions of photosynthesis is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose during the Calvin cycle (dark reactions).
What is true about combustion reactions?
Carbon dioxide will be a product. APEX: These reactions are always redoxx reactions. The products will always be carbon dioxide and water.
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 is the dark reaction in a plant?
The Calvin cycle, which uses the NADPH and ATP generated by the light-dependent reactions to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide to glucose.
The Calvin cycle is dependent upon a supply of?
The Calvin cycle is fueled by ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions.
Are the reactions that fix carbon dioxide sometimes called dark reactions?
no
What is produced in the light reactions?
carbon dioxide
