ATP (adenine triphosphate) and NADPH + hydrogen ion (H+) (NADPH2 for short). That's just the basics.
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.
Light-dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH, which are used as energy sources for the light-independent reactions. These reactions also produce oxygen as a byproduct, which is essential for cellular respiration. Light-independent reactions use the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into organic molecules, such as sugars.
ATP and NADPH
Photosynthesis consists of light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. These light reactions occur within the chloroplast thylakoids, where the aforementioned chlorophyll pigments are found.
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.
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.
No, ATP molecules are not directly made during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle). ATP is produced during the light-dependent reactions (Light reactions) of photosynthesis when light energy is used to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP. The ATP produced in the light reactions is then utilized as an energy source during the Calvin cycle to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose.
Light-dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH, which are used as energy sources for the light-independent reactions. These reactions also produce oxygen as a byproduct, which is essential for cellular respiration. Light-independent reactions use the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into organic molecules, such as sugars.
The products of light-dependent reactions are used in light-independent reactions.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
Light-dependent reactions are those that require light to proceed.
Differences: >light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma >light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't > dark reactions use the products of the light reactions >light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step Similarities: >both in photosynthesis Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)

The light reactions provide energy carriers for the darl reactions.
