Answer:

Light Dependent reactions is when energy from the sunlight gets absorbed by chlorophyll and then converted into a chemical.

Light Independent chemical energy is harvested during light-dependent reactions and it moves the assembly of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide.

In the light dependent reactions, energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and that energy is converted into stored chemical energy. In the light independent reactions, the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions drives the assembly of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide.
