please be specific,What is light dependent and light independent reactions, and what are some examples.
light dependent reactions require light, whereas light independent reactions proceed without the presence of light. For example photosynthesis is light dependent. It won't happen without light. On the other hand Nitrogen fixation is not. Example: Cyanothece does photosynthesis during the day and nitrogen fixation at night, because nitrogen fixation can occur without light. Photosynthesis requires light.
