light:
-occurs in thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast
-depends on sunlight (obviously)
-ATP (adenosine triphisphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) are produced
-oxygen is released
-photosynthesis occurs
-chlorophyll = pigments involved
dark:
-occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast
-doesn’t depend on sunlight
-no pigments involved
-photosynthesis doesn’t occur
-glucose is produced
-carbon dioxide is absorbed
