Following are the important difference between light and dark reaction:
Light Reaction
Dark Reaction
It takes place only in the presence of light.
It can take place in the presence or absence of sunlight.
It is a photochemical phase.
It is a biochemical phase.
It takes place in the grana of the chloroplast.
It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.
NADP utilizes H+ ions to form NADPH.
The hydrogen of NADPH combines with CO2.
The end products are ATP and NADPH.
Glucose is the end product. ATP and NADPH help in the formation of glucose.
The water molecules split into hydrogen and oxygen.
Glucose is produced. Co2 is utilized in the dark reaction.
Photolysis occurs in PS-II.
Photolysis does not occur.
Explanation:
Light reaction:- 1. Site; grana and lamellae
2. Light dependent reaction
Dark reaction:- 1.Site; stroma
2. Light independent reaction
