it is the first stage because the product of the light dependent reaction is ATP and NADPH+H+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Hydrogen) and these are required in the light independent reaction (calvin-benson cycle)
I hope this helps :DDD
The purpose of the light dependent reaction is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. This process, also known as the light reactions or light-dependent photosynthesis, occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
During the light dependent reaction, it produced Oxygen and Hydrogen..hope that can help...:D
Photochemical reactions that only proceed under the influence of light are called photoreactions. This type of reaction involves the absorption of photons to initiate a chemical reaction. The rate and efficiency of photoreactions are typically dependent on the intensity and wavelength of light.
There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
The two reactions of photosynthesis are connected by two substances: ATP and NADPH. These are produced by the light dependent reaction and are used by the light independent reaction. ATP is produced from ADP and Pi (phosphate): ADP + Pi ---> ATP This reaction requires energy to make it work, and this energy comes from light absorbed in the light dependent reaction. NADPH is produced from NADP+ and H: NADP+ + H ---> NADPH This reaction also requires energy, which is obtained from light in the light dependent reaction. The ATP and the NADPH are used in the light dependent reaction to provide energy and a source of H to convert CO2 to CH2O (carbohydrate). The products of the reactions (ADP, Pi, NADP+) are recycled in the light dependent reaction to produce more ATP and NADPH.

The light dependent reaction, of course.
This is called the light phase oh photosynthesis as opposed to the dark phase. During the light phase, photons excite enzymes on the thylakoid. Also can be known as Light-Dependent Reactions
Photosynthesis is performed in two stages:Light reactions (or light-dependent reactions): Energy from sunlight is required.Dark reactions (or light-independent reactions): No sunlight is required. However, energy formed by the light-dependent reactions is needed.
The purpose of the light dependent reaction is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. This process, also known as the light reactions or light-dependent photosynthesis, occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
During light dependent reactions chlorophyll and other light-aborbing molecules capture energy from sunlight.
The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.
The two main reactions in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle. Light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The Calvin Cycle, which is also known as the light-independent reactions, takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts and involves the production of glucose from carbon dioxide using ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.
Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane and require light energy to produce ATP and NADPH. Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) occur in the stroma and use ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into glucose. Both processes are essential for photosynthesis and occur in chloroplasts.
