Just as the name implies, light-dependent reactions require sunlight. ... Light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, use light energy to make ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle, which takes place in the stroma, uses energy derived from these compounds to make GA3P from CO2.

Light dependent reactions
(i) They are known to occur in the grama of the chloroplast.
(ii) They are initiated by light.
(iii) They occur in the presence of light
(iv) Also called as photochemical process.
(v) Provide assimilatory powers for dark reactions like NADPH
Light independent reactions
(i) They occur in the stoma of the chloroplast.
(ii) They are called dark reactions because they can happen even when there is no light.
(iii) They may occur in the absence of light too
(iv) These are called biosynthetic phase
(v) Use assimilatory powers to produce starch.
