The Light Reactions Provide Energy Carriers For The Dark Reactions.
The light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis requires light energy, water, and ADP + Pi to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The light-independent reaction, or the Calvin Cycle, does not directly require light but uses the products of the light-dependent reaction (ATP and NADPH) along with carbon dioxide to produce glucose.
Glucose is made during the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.
ATP and NADPH
Light dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH from energy captured from light. Therefore without light it cannot proceed. Light independent reactions fix carbon dioxide into glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions. So light independent reactions can occur without light as long as CO2, ATP and NADPH is present.
It is not.The synthesis of sugar from CO2 and H20 requires the energy of light - it is therefore light dependent.
The light dependent reaction, of course.
In photosynthesis, the reactants of the light-dependent reaction are water and light energy, which are used to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The products of the light-independent reaction (Calvin cycle) are ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide, which are used to produce glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions. The light-dependent reaction occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, while the light-independent reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Light dependent reaction.
A dependent variable is the variable being tested in a scientific experiment.The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the change in the dependent variable is observed and recorded.For example, a scientist is testing the effect of light and dark on the behavior of moths by turning a light on and off. The independent variable is the amount of light and the moth's reaction is the dependent variable.

Photosynthesis is performed in two stages:Light reactions (or light-dependent reactions): Energy from sunlight is required.Dark reactions (or light-independent reactions): No sunlight is required. However, energy formed by the light-dependent reactions is needed.
The products of light-dependent reactions are used in light-independent reactions.
