Does both light reactions and the Calvin cycle produce three-carbon sugars?

No, the light reactions produce high-energy molecules (ATP and NADPH) while the Calvin cycle, which is part of the light-independent reactions, uses these molecules to produce three-carbon sugars through carbon fixation.


Where do the light-idependent reactions pf photosynthesis take place?

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts. This is where carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle occur, utilizing the products of the light-dependent reactions to produce glucose.


What are the two energy containing compounds created in the light-dependent reactions that are used in the light-independent reactions are?

ATP and NADPH


How does the Calvin cycle differ from the light-dependent reactions?

1. Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma and light- dependent reactions take place in the granum, also light is not required for all the reactions of Calvin cycle.2. Calvin cycle assimilates CO2 to form organic compounds whereas in light reactions photolysis of water leads the formation of energy rich inorganic compounds.


Why are light dependent reactions important to the light independent reaction?

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.

What reactions produce light and heat?

Burning.


What the product of the light-dependent reactions?

Light-dependent reactions produce ATP, NADPH, and oxygen gas.


Do most of the chemical reactions that give off light also produce heat?

Yes, most chemical reactions that give off light also produce heat. This phenomenon is known as chemiluminescence, where the energy released during the reaction is emitted as both light and heat. However, not all reactions that produce light necessarily produce heat, as some reactions can be endothermic and absorb heat instead.


What processes in photosynthesis produce oxygen?

Light reactions :)


What do light independent reactions do?

they produce simple sugars

What is the relationship between the light and dark reactions in photosynthesis?

The light reactions in photosynthesis capture sunlight to produce energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the dark reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. In other words, the light reactions provide the energy needed for the dark reactions to occur and produce sugar.


What are light independent and dependent reactions?

Light dependent reactions are reactions the capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy(ATP). It occur in the chloroplast of plant cells Light independent reactions are reactions capture energy and use it to produce food . It does not need sunlight
