Which is an important difference between light-dependent (L-D) and light-independent (L-IND) reactions in photosynthesis? The L-D reactions need CO2 and light energy, and the L-IND reactions needs water and O2. The L-D reactions require light energy and water, and the L-IND reactions require ATP, NADPH and CO2. The L-D reactions can only occur during daylight, and the L-IND reactions can only occur during the night. The L-D reactions need water and CO2, and the L-IND reactions need CO2 and light.
Answer;
The L-D reactions require light energy and water, and the L-IND reactions require ATP, NADPH and CO2.
Explanation;
-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use light energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic molecules, such as simple sugars.
-The process takes place in two phases; light dependent stage and light independent stage.
-During light dependent stage light energy is used to break down water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms.
-Light independent reactions uses CO2 and the ATP and NADPH from light dependent reactions to produce sugar/ glucose. ATP is used to provide the energy for sugar synthesis and NADPH is used for electrons in the reduction of Carbon Dioxide into sugar.
Answer:
The L-D reactions require light energy and water, and the L-IND reactions require ATP, NADPH and CO2.
