Because the question does not ask photosynthesis, I answer in the meaning of general chemistry:

Light just provides energy for a reaction; usually, photons (the light particles) make electrons of the matter to excitate, thus changing the reaction conditions.

Otherwise, in photosynthesis, light-dependent reactions produce a proton (H+) gradient flow through thylakoid membrane, thus spinning the ATPase enzyme subunits, thus producing ATP. Besides this, ferredoxin and NADPH is produced. Ferredoxin is very important for certain specific enzymatic reactions and NADPH is the carrier of reduction force (it can give a hydrogen to a chemical/metabolite, for example to malonic acid)

How much ATP is produced in the light dependent reactions?

In the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP is produced through the process of photophosphorylation. Each cycle of the light-dependent reactions produces two molecules of ATP.


What is the differences between the light dependent reactions?

The Calvin cycle occurs at any time of the day, while the light dependent reactions require light. The calvin cycle produces glucose, while the light dependent reactions produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. The calvin cycle occurs because of the products of the light dependent reactions.


Where are the light dependent reactions located?

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. This is where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.


What are the two stage of photosyntesis?

A series of light-dependent reactions that are temperature independent, and a series of temperature-dependent reactions that are light independent.


Does the light-dependent reactions require light?

Yes


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.
