Whole class discussion

Differences between the light dependent and the light independent phase:

Light dependent phase Light independent phase

Occurs in the grana
Light is required
Radiant energy is absorbed and used
for reactions of photolysis &
phosphorylation
Photolysis occurs hydrogen is
released, and oxygen is returned to
the atmosphere
Phosphorylation occurs: ATP is
produced
Occurs in the stroma
Light is not required
Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the
atmosphere.
Hydrogen and carbon dioxide
combine by using ATP to form
glucose
Excess glucose is stored as starch
