The light-dependent reactions use ADP and NADP to produce NADPH and ATP (it occurs in the thylakoid membrane), whereas light-independent reactions use NADPH and ATP. NADPH is a cofactor.

The light-dependent reactions use sunlight and water (H2O) to produce oxygen (O2), NADPH and ATP, whereas light-independent reactions use carbon dioxide (CO2) NADPH, and ATP to produce simple carbohydrates (e.g., glucose).Both light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions occur in the chloroplast: light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, whereas light-independent reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is a cofactor that transports electrons (e-) and protons (H+) released by sunlight into new carbon-carbon bonds and thus serves to produce simple carbohydrates (i.e., sugars).

In conclusion, the light-dependent reactions use ADP and NADP to produce NADPH and ATP (it occurs in the thylakoid membrane), whereas light-independent reactions use NADPH and ATP to create carbohydrates.

Answer from: mackdoolittle1

A) Light dependent reactions

Reactants: light, H2O

Products: Oxygen gas

B) Light independent reactions

Reactants: C02

Products: Glucose

2. NADPH is an electron carrier which transfers electrons in the electron transport chain of photosynthesis

3. Light reactions occur in the THYLAKOID membrane.

Explanation:

As depicted in the image in this question, the photosynthetic process can be grouped into two stages viz; light dependent reactions and light independent reactions. The light dependent reactions, which take place in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE of the Chloroplast, involves the synthesis of ATP (energy carrier) and NADPH (electron carrier) to be used in the next stage. The reactants of light dependent reactions are light energy from sun, and water (H2O) while the product is Oxygen (O2) gas.

In the light independent reactions, the ATP and NADPH are used to synthesize GLUCOSE as a product from Carbon dioxide (CO2) reactant.

2. The NADPH is is an electron carrier produced from the reduction of NADP+, which transfers or donates electrons to other molecules in the electron transport chain of photosynthesis. This is crucial in building of the proton gradient for ATP production.

3. The light reaction or light dependent reaction takes place in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE of the Chloroplast.
