How does the light dependent reaction differ from the light independent reaction? What are the end product and rectants in each? Where does each reaction occur within the chloroplast?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Light dependent photosynthesis is called Hill reaction or Light reaction. The Light independent reactions are called Biosynthetic phase.

In the light dependent reaction the chlorophyll absorb the light energy and convert it into chemical energy ATP and `NADPH_2` . In the light independent reaction Co, is reduced into carbohydrates with the help of light generated ATP and `NADPH_2` . Light dependent reaction is carried out in the Grana of the chloroplast. The Light independent reaction is carried out in the stroma of the chloroplast.
