What are the dark reactions?

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.


True or false The light reactions of photosynthesis can occur only under light conditions and the dark reactions can occur only during the dark hours?

False. The light reactions of photosynthesis require light to convert solar energy into chemical energy, while the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) do not directly rely on light and can occur in both light and dark conditions. However, the dark reactions are indirectly dependent on the products of the light reactions.


What does the light independent reactions mean?

Biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide, that do not need light. This means that the aforementioned processes are 'independent of light'. N.B. Light refers to sunlight


What are the reactions of the first stage of the photosynthesis called?

This is called the light phase oh photosynthesis as opposed to the dark phase. During the light phase, photons excite enzymes on the thylakoid. Also can be known as Light-Dependent Reactions


Does photosynthesis require water to occur?

Yes, photosynthesis requires water to occur. Water is a crucial component in the process of photosynthesis, as it is used in the light-dependent reactions to help convert light energy into chemical energy.

Which reactions require oxygen as a raw material 1 light reactions only 2 dark reactions only 3 both light and dark reactions 4 niether light or dark reactions?

The light reactions of photosynthesis require oxygen as a raw material to produce ATP and NADPH. The dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis do not directly require oxygen as a raw material, but they use the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions. Both light and dark reactions are involved in photosynthesis, but only the light reactions require oxygen as a raw material.


Photosynthesis does not directly require what?

water


Do light reactions of photosynthesis require carbon dioxide?

Yes


Do the of photosynthesis ocdark reactions cur only at night?

No, the dark reactions of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle) can occur during the day as well. These reactions do not require light directly, but they depend on the products of the light reactions to proceed. The dark reactions convert CO2 into glucose using ATP and NADPH generated during the light reactions.


What Light-independent reactions of the photosynthesis are also known as the?

The Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the Light Independent reactions.


Are the reactions that fix carbon dioxide sometimes called dark reactions?

Yes, the reactions that fix carbon dioxide are sometimes called dark reactions because they do not directly require light energy to occur. These reactions typically take place in the stroma of chloroplasts during photosynthesis and are also known as the Calvin cycle.

What are reactions of photosynthesis that do not use sunlight and make glucose?

The reactions of photosynthesis that do not require sunlight are the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions). In this cycle, carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH generated during the light-dependent reactions. This process occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast.
