What is wrong in saying that dark reaction of photosynthesis occurs at night?

The so-called "dark reactions" are those that occur independently of the absorption of sunlight, but only when the "light reactions" are providing the molecules required. This only occurs when there is sunlight available.

Do plants absorb more carbon dioxide at day or night?
The photosynthesis process that occurs at night is called the light-independent reaction, or the calvin cycle. It is a process that utilizes the materials created in the light dependent reaction, ( the process that requires light) and CO2 to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.
Do the of photosynthesis ocdark reactions cur only at night?
No, dark reactions occurs in day light & as well as in night. It cant be called as dark reaction, its a Calvin cycle.
Does the process of photosynthesis take place at night too.?
light reaction is not happening. Dark reaction could be.
Can photosynthesis happen during nighttime?
yes,there are two reactions the light dependent and the light independent.pen the light independent is the reaction where the photosynthesis happen nighttime.
When do green plants carry on respiration?
both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occurs during the day, however, during the night when there is no sunlight only cellular respiration occurs.
When does photosynthesis accur?
Light reaction take place in day time. Dark reaction take place at night
Why do old biology textbooks called the carbon fixation reaction of photosynthesis the 'dark reaction'?
Though the reaction is not triggered by light, it does need the products produced in the "light-dependent " process.
The Calvin cycle happens during?
Carbon dioxide fixation in the light independent Calvin cycle occurs at night. Rubisco enzyme catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide to ribulose-1-5- bisphosphate.
Does photosynthesis occur at night?
Light is essential for photosynthesis to occur because it is the source of energy, so it doesnt occur during the night. However, CAM plants have the capability to run the light reactions during the day (when there is light) and the Calvin cycle at night. They do this by only opening their stomata at night and allowing the gas exchange then. This is done as a way to reduce the effects of transpiration in dry climates.
Does photosynthesis work at night?
no because photosynthesis only works and produce in daylightLight reaction need light .So it takes place only at night.But dark reaction can occur at night.It uses energy stored at day
Photosynthesis continue at night time?
yes but at a lower rate. Only dark reaction takes place. Light reaction takes place only at day
Which occurs at all times photosynthesis or cellular respiration?
cellular respiration occurs at all times (essential to stay alive) photosythesis only occurs when a light source is present (so not at night)
