The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are?
Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle Reactions.
How do the reactions and Calvin cycle work together to build glucose?
The light reactions provide the energy carriers used in the Calvin cycle
What is another name for the dark reactions of photosynthesis?
Calvin cycle or light independent reaction
The Calvin cycle is a series of reactions that?
The Calvin cycle is a series of reaction that regenerates its starting material after molecules enter and leave the cycle. It builds carbohydrates (specifically, the sugar glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) from smaller molecules and consumes energy. To do this, the Calvin cycle uses ATP as an energy source and consumes NADPH as reducing power.
Function of NADPH?
An easily understood explanation is: NADPH carries high-energy electrons that were produced by light absorption in chlorophyll to chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell. NADPH is a chemical compound which gives hydrogen atom for the formation of the carbohydrate in the dark reactions of the photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is completed in two steps: Light reactions dark reactions Another explanation: NADPH provides a source of hydrogen for reduction reactions in photosynthesis. In the light independent reactions carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrate: CO2 --------> CH2O NADPH provides the hydrogen needed for this reaction.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are?
Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle Reactions.
Why are the reactions of the Calvin cycle also called the light-independent reactions?
because the Calvin cycle does not require light
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.
What are light independent reactions called?
The main processes in the in dependant reactions are collectively called the Calvin Cycle.
Where are the enzymes for the Calvin reactions?
In Canada
How do the reactions and Calvin cycle work together to build glucose?
The light reactions provide the energy carriers used in the Calvin cycle
What is another name for the dark reactions of photosynthesis?
Calvin cycle or light independent reaction
What are the enzymes of stroma?

What does not belong in this phrase light dependent reactions Calvin cycle chlorophyll?
Calvin Cycle
For the following questions compare the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants?
Comparing the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, which requires CO2?
What produces NAPDH compared to the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants?
The light reactions produce NADPH, where the Calvin Cycle produces NADP+
