It needs light to
produce organic
energy molecules
(ATP and NADPH).
They are initiated by
colored pigments,
mainly green colored
chlorophylls.

Light Dependent Reaction is the
initial stage of Photosynthesis Where
solor energy is converted into
potential energy ,the light
Dependent Reaction produces
oxygen gas and converts ADP and
NADP+ into ATP and NADPH
IMPORTANCE
It makes use of these
organic energy molecules
(ATP and NADPH). This
reaction cycle is also
called Calvin Benison
Cycle, and it occurs in the
stroma. ATP provides the
energy while NADPH will fail to continue if
provides the electrons the plants are
deprived of light for
required to fix the CO2
too long since they use
(carbon dioxide) into the output of the initial
carbohydrates. light-dependent
reactions.

Dark Reaction takes place in Stroma
of the chloroplasts in photosynthetic
plants. Energy from light are stored
has ATP and NADPH .in Calvin cycle
this stored energy is used to make
sugar molecule, the Calvin cycle is a
complex theory of chemical
reactions carried out in stroma.
