What is the difference between light dependant and light independent photosynthesis? T
1 Answer
Light dependent part of photosynthesis is concerned with production of ATP and
Light independent part of photosynthesis involves reduction of
Explanation:
Photosynthesis consists of 2 steps:
1.Light reaction or Hill's reaction
2.Dark reaction or Blackmann's reaction
In light reaction, solar energy is entrapped by chlorophyll pigment. Solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP molecules. This is termed by photophosphorylation . Hydrolysis of water occurs to liberate
Dark reaction involves reduction of
Dark reaction thus can occur independent of light but is dependent upon the end products of the light-dependent reaction.
