Question

The processes of Photosynthesis can be separated into two stages: the

light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions. Watch the
interactive and observe how the molecules present move and change through these
processes. Why do you think the stages are called light-dependent and
grand also light-independent?

Answer 1

Light-dependent reactions use light energy from the sun to create ATP and NADPH that are used in the next next stage of photosynthesis which are the light-independent reactions. (Keep in mind they are light- independent because they take place in the dark however it is not a requirement to do so.)

Answer 2

because The light-dependent reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis: the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH, in plants, the light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of organelles called chloroplasts.
