No, carbon dioxide does not join with hydrogen to form glucose during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Instead, these reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH. The formation of glucose occurs in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle), where carbon dioxide is fixed and combined with energy from ATP and NADPH to synthesize 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.
Glucose lose electrons and hydrogen to form Carbon dioxide.
Glencoe Science; BIOLOGYLight energy is absorbed and then converted into chemical energy in the form ofATP and NADPH. The ATP and NADPH that were formed in phase one are usedto make glucose.
The most important product of the dark reaction, also known as the Calvin cycle, is glucose. This process takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts and utilizes ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose for energy storage and other cellular processes.
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.

The molecule that leaves the thylakoid to provide hydrogen for the carbon-fixation reaction is NADPH. NADPH is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and is used in the Calvin cycle, where it provides the necessary reducing power to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

The Calvin cycle, which uses the NADPH and ATP generated by the light-dependent reactions to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide to glucose.

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.

In the reaction of respiration glucose and oxygen are broken down to produce carbon dioxide and water
Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + ATP + Water Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + water + sunlight = Glucose + Oxygen
Photosynthesis happens in two main stages, called the light-dependent stage and the light-independent stage. The light-independent stage is sometimes called the 'dark' stage. The light-dependent stage can only happen in the light. During this stage light is absorbed and turned into chemical energy (ATP). Oxygen is also produced. The light-independent stage can happen in the light or the dark ie it is independent of light! However, it needs substances made in the light-dependent stage so it cannot happen completely by itself. In the light-independent stage the energy trapped as ATP in the light-dependent stage is used to change carbon dioxide into sugar (glucose). The Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. CO2 --------> (CH2O) This process requires an energy source and a hydrogen source, as well as carbon dioxide. The energy source is ATP. The hydrogen source is NADPH. Both of these substances are produced by the light-dependent reactions. For more details search this site for "calvin cycle", "light dependent" and l"ight independent".
