Light reactions give off energy carrying molecules such as ATP and NADH. The energy carrying molecules are then taken to the Calvin Cycle to be turned into gluclose.
*Apex
The light-independent reactions turn CO2, a gas, into usable carbon in the form of sugars
They convert carbon dioxide to sugar.
It is the first step. First step of the photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which a plant makes its own food. The end result of photosynthesis is the production of glucose to feed the plant, and the production of oxygen, for humans to breathe.
Such plant cells will not be able to perform photosynthesis
Sugar is produced in the last stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle.
The byproducts of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. These are made when the processes known as the Kalvin Cycle and the Krebs Cycle.
It is the first step. First step of the photosynthesis.
Glucose
Glucose
Glucose + Oxygen.
Photosynthesis.
Oxygen + Water ---------> Carbon Dioxide + Glucose
Glucose, NADP and ADP
Oxygen + Water ---------> Carbon Dioxide + Glucose
Plants do not make food at night because food (glucose) production is dependent upon light. Photosynthesis is powered by sunlights energy producing NADPH, and ATP. These molecules are essential for the production of glucose in the calvin cycle. Therefore without the light dependent reactions, the light independent reactions associated with photosynthesis cannot take place.
The energy formed in the light reactions of photosynthesis is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose during the Calvin cycle (dark reactions).
