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.

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 is released in light reactions of photosynthesis and which of these products does not participate in the dark reactions?

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.


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

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.


Does dark reaction of photosynthesis produce oxygen and ATP?

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.


When does photosynthesis produce oxygen?

Light Dependant ReactionCarbon dioxide + H2O + SUNLIGHT => NaDPH + O2 + ATPThen the NaDPH and the ATP goes to the dark reactions, or the Calvin-Benson Cycle.

Do plants take in carbon dioxide from the air?

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.

Where does the carbon and oxygen and glucose ultimately come from?

the oxygen and carbon come from the Carbon Dioxide in the Dark Reactions of Photosynthesis. This didnt help


What is the by product made in photosynthesis?

The byproducts of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. These are made when the processes known as the Kalvin Cycle and the Krebs Cycle.

Products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are required by the dark reactions are?

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.


Does dark reaction of photosynthesis produce oxygen and ATP?

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.


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 :)
