Molecular oxygen is formed in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. This occurs in the electron transport chain in the protein complexes of the thylakoid membrane. The water splitting complex yields oxygen, hydrogen ions and electrons.
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.
In the light reactions of photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a byproduct. Oxygen is not directly involved in the dark reactions (Calvin cycle), which utilize ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions to convert carbon dioxide into sugars.
The product of the light reactions of photosynthesis is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules provide the energy necessary for the Calvin cycle (dark reactions) to produce glucose.
No, the dark reactions of photosynthesis (Calvin Cycle) do not directly produce oxygen or ATP. Instead, they use ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
Light Dependant ReactionCarbon dioxide + H2O + SUNLIGHT => NaDPH + O2 + ATPThen the NaDPH and the ATP goes to the dark reactions, or the Calvin-Benson Cycle.

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in the dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis, and oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

the oxygen and carbon come from the Carbon Dioxide in the Dark Reactions of Photosynthesis. This didnt help
The byproducts of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. These are made when the processes known as the Kalvin Cycle and the Krebs Cycle.
The product of the light reactions of photosynthesis is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules provide the energy necessary for the Calvin cycle (dark reactions) to produce glucose.
The products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are required by the dark reactions include ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules carry energy and reducing power to drive the chemical reactions of the Calvin cycle in the dark reactions.
No, the dark reactions of photosynthesis (Calvin Cycle) do not directly produce oxygen or ATP. Instead, they use ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
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 :)
