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
What else can I help you with?
What is the purpose of the light dependent reaction and what is it called?
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.
What is produced from the splitting water during the light-dependent reactions What is this process called?
During the light dependent reaction, it produced Oxygen and Hydrogen..hope that can help...:D
Which Photochemical reactions proceed only under the influence of light are called?
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.
What two reactions occur in photosynthesis?
There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
What is the relationship between the light dependent reaction and Calvin cycle?
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.

Are photosynthetic pigments a part of the light dependent or light independent reactions?
The light dependent reaction, of course.
What are the reactions of the first stage of the photosynthesis called?
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
What are the two stages in photosynthesis?
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.
What is the purpose of the light dependent reaction and what is it called?
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.
What reaction occurs during light dependent reaction?
During light dependent reactions chlorophyll and other light-aborbing molecules capture energy from sunlight.
What two types of reactions occur during photosynthesis?
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.
What are two main reactions in photosynthesis and where do they take place?
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.
Compare and contrast light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis.?
Light dependent reactions : The first stage of the photosynthetic system is the light-dependent reaction, which converts solar energy into chemical energy. The light dependent reaction produces oxygen gas and converts ADP and NADP+ into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH. In plants, light dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts and use light energy to synthesize ATP and NADPH. The light dependent reaction has two forms; cyclic and non-cyclic reaction. In the non-cyclic reaction, the photons are captured in the light-harvesting antenna complexes of photosystem II by chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.The cyclic reaction takes place only at photosystem I. Once the electron is displaced from the photosystem, the electron is passed down the electron acceptor molecules and returns back to photosystem I, from where it was emitted; hence the name cyclic reaction. Light-independent reaction : In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions, also somewhat misleadingly called the dark reactions (they don't require darkness, but they do require the products of the light reactions), are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. It occurs in the stroma, the fluid filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes. These reactions, unlike the light-dependent reactions, do not need light to occur; hence the term dark reactions. These reactions take the products of the light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. There are two light-independent reactions: carbon fixation and the Calvin-Benson cycle.
