Why are the light-dependent and light-independent phases of photosynthesis dependent upon each other?

Answer 1

for energy

While the light independent phase makes use of the energy generated in the light dependent phase, the light dependent phase produces energy.

Because the products of the light-dependent reactions—like ATP and NADPH—are needed as energy sources for the light-independent reactions, the light-dependent and light-independent phases of photosynthesis are interdependent. On the other hand, the light-independent reactions yield molecules like glucose, which can be replenished and act as a substrate for the light-dependent reactions, ensuring a steady supply of carbon and energy throughout the photosynthetic process.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
