I need some help, I've searched my textbook and can't find the answers.
How do the processes "Light-dependent reactions" and Light-independent reactions" relate to each other? Where does each occur?
Thank you so much!

1. The light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. These reactions prepare energy and hydrogens that the light-independent reactions. Energy is passed to the other set of reactions in ATP and in NADPH.
2. The light-independent reactions happen in the stroma of the chloroplast. The light-independent reactions uses energy and hydrogens from the light-dependent reactions, as well as carbon dioxide from the air, to build the glucose.

Light-dependent reaction occurs first, the energy from the electrons gathered from sunlight are used to combine molecules in the independent reactions, or Calvin Cycle. During the independent reaction energy from ATP, a molecule made during the light dependent reaction, helps combine carbon molecules from carbon dioxide to form glucose.
