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.

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.


The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are?

The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.


One of the two parts of photosynthesis?

One of the two parts of photosynthesis is the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. These reactions use light energy to split water molecules and produce ATP and NADPH.


What are the reactions of the first stage of the photosynthesis called?

This is called the light phase oh photosynthesis as opposed to the dark phase. During the light phase, photons excite enzymes on the thylakoid. Also can be known as Light-Dependent Reactions


What is the primary function of the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

The primary function of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are used in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to produce glucose. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and involve the splitting of water molecules to release oxygen as a byproduct.

The initial reactions in photosynthesis are know as the?

The initial reactions in photosynthesis are known as the light-dependent reactions. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and involve the absorption of light energy to drive the conversion of water into oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.

How are light reactions and dark reactions similar and different?

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 :)

Which reactions require oxygen as a raw material 1 light reactions only 2 dark reactions only 3 both light and dark reactions 4 niether light or dark reactions?

The light reactions of photosynthesis require oxygen as a raw material to produce ATP and NADPH. The dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis do not directly require oxygen as a raw material, but they use the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions. Both light and dark reactions are involved in photosynthesis, but only the light reactions require oxygen as a raw material.


What are the stage in the process 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.

Are the reactions of photosynthesis?

There are two reactions. Those are light dependent and independent.


What is is the result of light reactions in the photosynthesis?

Glucose


What are reactions of photosynthesis that do not use sunlight and make glucose?

The reactions of photosynthesis that do not require sunlight are the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions). In this cycle, carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH generated during the light-dependent reactions. This process occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast.
