Why is the Dark Reaction sometimes called Light Independent Reaction?

Because the dark reactions are CO2 assimilation's and do not need light energy. They use the ATP and NADPH created from the light reactions to convert CO2 to carbohydrates, so this can happen in the "dark" as long as the light reactions already happened.

Which reaction during photosynthesis is light-independent?
That is the second step. It is called dark cycle
Which term is the part of photosynthesis when energy is used to make sugar glucose?
Light-independent reactions
What are products of the light independent reactions?
The main purpose of the light independent reaction is to produce glucose.
Is the Calvin-Benson cycle the same thing as Cā cycle?
It is called C 3 pathway , or dark reaction or light independent reaction .
What organelle does the light independent reaction occur?
you and i/
What photosynthetic reactions that can be taken out in the absence of light?
The Calvin Cycle. This is why it is sometimes called the "Light independent reaction".
Which reaction during photosynthesis is light-independent?
That is the second step. It is called dark cycle
Where in the chloroplasts does the light-independent reaction occur?
The light-independent reactions occur in the storm of the chloroplast. The light- independent reactions are "independent" from light so they can happen else where. The light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast where the light is absorbed, and the reactions depend on the light.
Which term is the part of photosynthesis when energy is used to make sugar glucose?
Light-independent reactions
What are products of the light independent reactions?
The main purpose of the light independent reaction is to produce glucose.
Why are the reactions of the calvin cycle aslo called the light independent reactions?
Because this reaction proceeds without using light energy.
Is the Calvin-Benson cycle the same thing as Cā cycle?
It is called C 3 pathway , or dark reaction or light independent reaction .
What are the products in the independent reactions?
The light independent reaction produces Glucose
What is the Light- independent reaction?
In scientific terms the light-independent reaction related to the process of photosynthesis which involves the conversion and reaction of carbon dioxide and other compounds to form Glucose.

What is the dark reaction of photosynthesis also nown as?
The light independent reaction.
What reaction during photosynthesis is light is light-independent?
ATP and NADPH
