The light reation use chlorophyll molecule to capture sunlight in the form of photons and ultimately use water molecules for photolysis in OH & H ions releasing large amount of energy.

Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle Reactions.
Create products for which the light-independent reaction is able to use to continue the rest of photosynthesis.
Pigments in chloroplasts absorb light energy in the form of photons during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
The reactants of light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis are H20 (water), ADP, and NADP+.
Mitochondria
The initial reactions in photosynthesis are the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions
Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle Reactions.
Differences: >light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma >light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't > dark reactions use the products of the light reactions >light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step Similarities: >both in photosynthesis Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)
Create products for which the light-independent reaction is able to use to continue the rest of photosynthesis.
light dependant reactions
Pigments in chloroplasts absorb light energy in the form of photons during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is performed in two stages:Light reactions (or light-dependent reactions): Energy from sunlight is required.Dark reactions (or light-independent reactions): No sunlight is required. However, energy formed by the light-dependent reactions is needed.

There are two reactions. Those are light dependent and independent.
Glucose
Comparing the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, which requires CO2?
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
