What else can I help you with?
What starts the light reactions of photosynthesis?
light strikes the chloroplast.
What is the reverse equation of the light reactions?
The reverse of the light reactions is the dark reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle. In this process, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose in the stroma of the chloroplast.
Do chloroplast and mitochondria convert chemical energy?
Chloroplast convert light energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy itself
What specific structure contains chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is contained within the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in plant cells. These membranes are where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur, enabling plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.
Is carbon dioxide taken into the chloroplast during light dependent reactions?
No, carbon dioxide is not taken into the chloroplast during the light-dependent reactions. The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Carbon dioxide is actually taken in during the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle or dark reactions, which occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
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

What absorbs energy in light reactions?
chloroplast
Which of the following statements about the light reactions of photosynthesis are true?
The light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. The primary goal of the light reactions is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Water is split during the light reactions to provide electrons for the photosystems. The light reactions produce oxygen as a byproduct.
Do chloroplast and mitochondria convert chemical energy?
Chloroplast convert light energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy itself
Are the light-independent reactions in plants fueled by chloroplast?
no

Do the dark reactions occur in the thylakoids?
A dark reaction is done in the Calvin Cycle. Light is not needed at the time of the dark reaction but it also doesn't hinder the reaction if there is light at the time.So in short. Yes.
How does light and dark reactions takes place?
The light dependent reaction occurs in the chloroplast. In the light dependent reaction, chlorophyll pigments absorb solar energy. This energy is then converted into a chemical form (not glucose). The water molecule is split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. The dark reaction or the carbon fixation period occurs in the fluid matrix or stroma of chloroplast. The hydrogen product from the first reaction is combined with the carbon dioxide molecules to makes sugars. This results in the C3 or C4 cycle.
What is the relationship between light-dependent and the light independent reaction?
they are both stages in photosynthesis and both require enzymes and occur in the chloroplast :)
