Where does the light dependent cycle occur?

The light-dependent cycle of photosynthesis occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. Here, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and used to produce ATP and NADPH, which are utilized in the subsequent light-independent cycle.


What does light dependent reactions supply the Calvin cycle with?

Light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin Cycle, and the cycle returns ADP, Pi, and NADP+ to the light reactions.ATP and NADPH are produced by the light reactions of photosynthesis and consumed by the Calvin cycle.


If there is no light coming into the chlorplast how will this effect the Calvin cycle?

Calvin cycle does not need light.So there is no affect.


What are the dark reactions of photosynethesis also known as?

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.


Why does the Calvin cycle need the light reactions to keep going?

The Calvin cycle itself does not need light.The Calvin cycle, also called the light independent stage of photosynthesis, uses ATP (energy) and NADPH (hydrogen) to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrate (sugar). These reactions do not need light and can take place in the dark.However in a plant the ATP and NADPH are produced by the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis. To produce these substances light is needed.So although the Calvin cycle does not need light itself it does need substances made using light.See What_connects_the_light_dependent_reaction_to_the_light_independent_reactionand How_do_the_lightdependent_reactions_differ_from_the_calvin_cycle
