Light Reaction (involves the sun)

The roots suck up water from the ground, into the chloroplasts. In there, the water is sun-heated and gets split into hydrogen, oxygen and ATP. The oxygen then gets released for us to breath and the hydrogen is put to a different part of the leaf.

Dark Reaction (doesn't involve the sun)

After the hydrogen gets to the other part of the leaf, the CO2 (carbon dioxide), that we breath out, mixes with the hydrogen and gets fused using ATP, making sugar/starch.

Why must the light reaction occur before the dark reaction?

The light reaction produces ATP and NADPH, which are needed to fuel the dark reaction. The dark reaction (Calvin Cycle) uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reaction to fuel the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. In essence, the light reaction provides the energy source that drives the dark reaction.

How are light reactions and dark reactions different and similar?

Light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and require light energy to convert it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Dark reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma and use ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide into sugars. Both processes are part of photosynthesis and work together to convert light energy into chemical energy.


Why is it light reaction presequisite to the dark reaction?

without ATP and (NADPH +H+) WE cannot run the dark reaction.and this molecules are produced from the light reaction.


How does light and dark reactions correspond with parts of a leaf?
