The dark reactions that occur in plants are dependent on the light reactions because the dark reactions need ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADPH are energy molecules that dark reactions need to do their job.

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.


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.


Compare and contrast light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis.?

Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane and require light energy to produce ATP and NADPH. Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) occur in the stroma and use ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into glucose. Both processes are essential for photosynthesis and occur in chloroplasts.


Where does the reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells?

Leaves {OW}


Can the light dependant reactions occur without the light independent reactions?

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 Will Most Likely Happen To a Plant That Does Not Does Not Receive Any Water?

The light-dependent reactions will not occur.


What is the difference between the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions?

light dependent reactions only occur in light this means thier reations increases with light intensity while light independent can occur in the dark


Where in plants does photosynthesis happen?

It happens in the chloroplasts. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoids. The calvin cycle (light-independent), occur in the stroma.

Similarities between light dependent and light independent reactions?

Both light-dependent and light-independent reactions are part of photosynthesis in plants. Both processes occur in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Light-dependent reactions use light energy to convert water and sunlight into ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the light-independent reactions to fix carbon dioxide and produce glucose.


What two reactions occur in photosynthesis?

There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Where does light dependent occur in the chloroplast?

What is the two sets of reactions that need to occur in order for photosynthesis to take pace?

light dependent and light independent reactions


What are light independent and dependent reactions?

Light dependent reactions are reactions the capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy(ATP). It occur in the chloroplast of plant cells Light independent reactions are reactions capture energy and use it to produce food . It does not need sunlight


Does the light dependet reactions with stroma or granum?

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts, specifically in the grana. The grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes where the light-dependent reactions take place. The stroma, on the other hand, is the fluid-filled space surrounding the grana where the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions) occurs. So, the light-dependent reactions primarily occur in the grana, not the stroma.
