They occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts in plant cells. They are light dependent in that they need the energy given off by the sun to "excite" the electrons in order to move down the electron transfer chain, which ultimately prepares them to be used by NADP+ to form NADPH to assist in the light independent cycle. (Calvin Benson Cycle)
What else can I help you with?
Where does the Light (dependent) reaction take place?
The light dependent reaction take place in the thylakoid of the chloroplast
Where in the cell does light independent reactions take place?
Light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, take place in the stroma of the chloroplast. This part of the chloroplast surrounds the thylakoid membranes where the light-dependent reactions occur. In the stroma, carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions.
What membrane do light dependent reactions take place?
Light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis take place in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. This membrane contains pigments such as chlorophyll that absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
Where do light dependent reactions occur in photosynthesis?
Light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. The products (ATP and NADPH) are used in the second stage of photosynthesis, which is called the Calvin Cycle. (Oxygen is given off as a "waste" product - lucky for us!)
How does light and dark reactions takes place?
The light dependent reaction occurs in the chloroplast. In the light dependent reaction, chlorophyll pigments absorb solar energy. This energy is then converted into a chemical form (not glucose). The water molecule is split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. The dark reaction or the carbon fixation period occurs in the fluid matrix or stroma of chloroplast. The hydrogen product from the first reaction is combined with the carbon dioxide molecules to makes sugars. This results in the C3 or C4 cycle.
Where does the Light (dependent) reaction take place?
The light dependent reaction take place in the thylakoid of the chloroplast
The light dependent reactions take place inside chloroplast in stacks of?
Grana are stacks of thylakoids.
What is the difference between the light dependent and the dark reactions of the Calvin cycle?
The light-dependent reactions of the Calvin cycle require light to occur and take place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. These reactions generate ATP and NADPH. In contrast, the dark reactions (Calvin-Benson cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast and use ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugars.
Where do the two major parts of photosynthesis take place in chloroplast?
In which two parts of a chloroplast does photosynthesis take place?
Where in the cell does light independent reactions take place?
Light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, take place in the stroma of the chloroplast. This part of the chloroplast surrounds the thylakoid membranes where the light-dependent reactions occur. In the stroma, carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions.
Where in the cell do the reactions of photosynthesis take place?
The reactions of photosynthesis take place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Specifically, the light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
What membrane do light dependent reactions take place?
Light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis take place in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. This membrane contains pigments such as chlorophyll that absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
Where does photosinthisis take place?
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Specifically, the light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
In which structure of chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions occur?
The light reactions occur in the thylakoid space, which can also be called the granum.
Where in the chloroplasts does the light-independent reaction occur?
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.
What is the relationship between light-dependent and the light independent reaction?
they are both stages in photosynthesis and both require enzymes and occur in the chloroplast :)
Where do light dependent reactions occur in photosynthesis?
Light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. The products (ATP and NADPH) are used in the second stage of photosynthesis, which is called the Calvin Cycle. (Oxygen is given off as a "waste" product - lucky for us!)
