What is the Difference between Light and Dark Reaction in Photosynthesis
Difference between Light & Dark Reaction
In photosynthesis two types of reaction takes place
- i) Light Reaction
- ii) Dark Reaction
Light Reaction:
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which break down the water molecule to release hydrogen and oxygen. The break down of water through light is called Photolysis. Energy of absorbed light is converted into two chemical compounds:
- i) NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate)
- ii) ATP (Adenosine tri-Phosphate)
All these reactions, which take place in the presence light, are called light reactions.
Dark Reaction:
Energy from ATP and NADPH is utilized to prepare glucose. Hence energy is stored in glucose. This phase do not require light, hence this reaction is called dark reaction.
Font. In the paper version, the font is small, and for people who do not have 100% vision, it is not very convenient to read such a font. In the electronic version, the font can be increased. Price. The paper version can be incredibly expensive, and in this regard, e-books are much more profitable. Practicality. In the paper version, the pages are scratched. Eye strain. In this regard, a paper book has advantages over an electronic one, since the load on vision is much lower. A bright screen negatively affects vision.
