In photosynthesis, the the electron transport chain is part of the light dependent reactions. The "light independent reactions" are the Calvin-Benson cycle and do not include an electron transport chain, but the Calvin Cycle cannot proceed without the ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions.

Where in plants does photosynthesis happen?

It happens in the chloroplasts. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoids. The calvin cycle (light-independent), occur in the stroma.

Where does the light -independent reaction occur?

The light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts in plant cells. This process uses ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into sugars.


What are the dark reactions of photosynethesis also known as?

The dark reactions of photosynthesis are also known as the Calvin cycle or the light-independent reactions. These reactions take place in the stroma of chloroplasts and involve the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.

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.
