dark
light

Answer 1

Do you know the difference between dark and light reactions of photosynthesis?

Answer 2

actually i do not

Answer 3

Photosynthesis:
\(\sf\Large 6CO_2+6H_2O ~~\underrightarrow{sunlight}~C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\)

the light reaction is the reaction that requires sunlight. In this reaction, sunlight is used to split water in oxygen and hydrogen. During light reactions NADPH and ATP are formed when solar energy is converted into chemical energy.

In the dark reaction, the energy from the sunlight (the NADPH and ATP) are used to combine water and carbondioxide to form glucose (a carbohydrate)

Answer 4

so would it be light

Answer 5

what is NADPH

Answer 6
