Answer:
Light-dependent reactions:
- takes place in the grana
- release oxygen
- produces ATP
Light-independent reactions:
- fixes carbon dioxide
- take place in the stroma
- produce glucose
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a biological process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose. In chloroplast, photosynthesis occurs in two sequential stages.
-
Light-dependent reactions
-
Light-independent reactions (kelvin cycle)
The light energy is converted into chemical energy (NADPH and ATP) in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast (light-dependent reactions). These energy molecules are utilized in the kelvin cycle (light-independent reaction) to assembled sugar molecules from CO2 in the stroma of the chloroplast.
