The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are also known as the Calvin cycle. This process occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and uses ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. The Calvin cycle involves three main stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP).
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
The initial reactions in photosynthesis are known as the light-dependent reactions. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and involve the absorption of light energy to drive the conversion of water into oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.
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.
Light dependent reactions were discovered by Hill, thus are also known as Hill's Light Reactions.
The reverse of the light reactions is the dark reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle. In this process, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose in the stroma of the chloroplast.
A series of light-dependent reactions that are temperature independent, and a series of temperature-dependent reactions that are light independent.
Light is needed in Photosyntesis
The products of the light reactions of photosynthesis are ATP and NADPH. These molecules provide the energy and reducing power needed for the Calvin cycle to create carbohydrates from carbon dioxide.
The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.
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.
