Light-dependent Reaction
Light-independent Reaction
2. Products are ATP, NADPH, and oxygen; and the reactant is water.
2. The products is glucose, and reactants are ATP, NADPH, and CO2.
3. This reaction occurs in thylakoid membranes.
3. This reaction Stroma, in botany, refers to the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast. Within the stroma are grana, stacks of thylakoids, the sub-organelles, the daughter cells, where photosynthesis is commenced before the chemical changes are completed in the stroma. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. occurs in stroma.
The dark reaction occurs outside of the thylakoids. In this reaction, the energy from ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon dioxide (CO2). The products of this reaction are sugar molecules and other organic molecules necessary for cell function and metabolism.
