Yes. The light independent reactions are dependent on the light reactions. The light dependent reactions of photosynthesis produce energy in the form of ATP, and the electron carrier molecule NADPH, which are needed for the light independent reactions. If the light dependent reactions are stopped, there will be no ATP and NADPH for the light independent reactions, and the plant will die.

NADPH: A mobile electron carrier! In photosynthesis it transports two electrons and a proton from the light dependent reactions to the Calvin Cycle. My students actually cooked up the analogy of the molecule behaving like a dump truck and I’ve drawn it that way ever since!
