In what way are the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis similar?

Question

Both require chemical energy to proceed.
Both occur in the chloroplast.
Both produce oxygen as a byproduct.
Both involve carbon fixation.

Answer 1

All of the statements are correct. Both the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis require chemical energy to proceed. Both reactions occur in the chloroplast of plant cells. The light-dependent reactions produce oxygen as a byproduct, while the light-independent reactions involve carbon fixation, where carbon dioxide is converted into organic molecules like glucose.
