It is photosynthesis where light is not needed. It is a nickname for the Calvin-Benson cycle which is the second main step of photosynthesis. It utilizes the ATP and NADPH produced from the light-reactions as well as carbon dioxide from the air in order to produce glucose.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
The dark reactions that occur in plants are dependent on the light reactions because the dark reactions need ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADPH are energy molecules that dark reactions need to do their job.
The light reactions will slow down.
These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.
Only occur in the dark.
The dark reactions take place in the Stroma of the chloroplast.

The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
The end product of the dark reactions is glucose.
Differences: >light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma >light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't > dark reactions use the products of the light reactions >light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step Similarities: >both in photosynthesis Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)
The light reactions will slow down.
ATP and NADPH fuel the dark reactions of photosynthesis.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
Neither, oxygen is a byproduct, not a reactant or "raw material."
Explain why plants are able to continue the dark reactions when they are not able to use the light reactions?
