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.


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.


How do the light reactions and dark reactions work together?

The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.


Why are the reactions of the calvin cycle also called the light independent reaction?

Well, darling, they call it the light-independent reaction because unlike photosynthesis where light is needed, the Calvin Cycle doesn't give a damn about the sun. It's all about using that stored up energy from the light-dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide and make some sugar. So, in a nutshell, it's like saying, "I don't need no stinkin' light to do my job!"


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.

The light-dependent reactions will not occur.


What happen in the light-dependent reactions?

The light dependent reactions produce Oxygen Gas and convert ADP and NADP+ into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH.


What happen in the light independent reactions?

Light is absorbed where it is converted into energy via the light reactions. It is then transfered to the Calvin Cycle, where it is used to make stored energy, and the used ATP (energy) units are recycled to the light reactions and the process repeats.

Can photosynthesis happen during nighttime?

yes,there are two reactions the light dependent and the light independent.pen the light independent is the reaction where the photosynthesis happen nighttime.
