in what way are the light - dependent and light - independent reactions of photosynthesis similar?\nboth require chemical energy to proceed.\nboth occur in the chloroplast.\nboth produce oxygen as a byproduct.\nboth involve carbon fixation.

in what way are the light - dependent and light - independent reactions of photosynthesis similar?\nboth require chemical energy to proceed.\nboth occur in the chloroplast.\nboth produce oxygen as a byproduct.\nboth involve carbon fixation.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The light - dependent and light - independent reactions of photosynthesis both occur in the chloroplast. The light - dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membranes, and the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast. The light - dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH which are forms of chemical energy, but the light - independent reactions use this chemical energy, so not both require chemical energy to start. Only the light - dependent reactions produce oxygen as a by - product. Carbon fixation occurs only in the light - independent reactions.

Answer:

Both occur in the chloroplast.
