The three basic events of light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) are carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of RuBP. Carbon fixation involves utilizing CO2 to convert it into a usable form (3-PGA). Reduction involves converting 3-PGA into G3P using ATP and NADPH. Regeneration of RuBP involves converting G3P into RuBP to restart the cycle.
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.
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 energy sources needed for the light reactions in photosynthesis are light (photons), which are absorbed by chlorophyll. The energy sources needed for the carbon reactions (Calvin cycle) are ATP and NADPH, which are produced during the light reactions.
Both light reactions and dark reactions are crucial components of photosynthesis in plants. They occur in the chloroplasts, with light reactions taking place in the thylakoid membranes and dark reactions (Calvin cycle) occurring in the stroma. Both processes involve the conversion of energy; light reactions convert solar energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH), while dark reactions use that chemical energy to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide. Additionally, both reactions are interconnected, as the products of light reactions fuel the dark reactions.
change of color(: ?
It uses ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions so that it can produce high-energy sugars
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.
Light-dependent reactions use the excited electrons produced by the light-capturing events that are used to produce ATP.
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 :)
