Why must the light reaction occur before the dark reaction?

The light reaction produces ATP and NADPH, which are needed to fuel the dark reaction. The dark reaction (Calvin Cycle) uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reaction to fuel the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. In essence, the light reaction provides the energy source that drives the dark reaction.


The term cycle is used to describe the light-independent reactions?

No, the term cycle is usually used to describe the Calvin cycle, which is part of the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis. This cycle is responsible for fixing carbon dioxide and producing sugars.


What cycle is also called the dark reaction in photosynthesis?

The cycle that is also called the dark reaction in photosynthesis is the Calvin cycle. This process occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and involves the fixation of carbon dioxide into glucose molecules using energy from ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.


What enters into the dark reaction?
