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.

How are the dark reactions that occur in plants dependent on the light-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 provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.


What is the end product of the dark reactions?

The end product of the dark reactions is glucose.

How are light reactions and dark reactions similar and different?

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 :)

Do the dark reactions occur in the thylakoids?

A dark reaction is done in the Calvin Cycle. Light is not needed at the time of the dark reaction but it also doesn't hinder the reaction if there is light at the time.So in short. Yes.


A green plant absorbs a toxic substance that completely blocks the production of ATP. how would this most likely affect the dark reactions?

The light reactions will slow down.

What enters into the dark reaction?

NADPH and ATP from the light reactions enter the Calvin cycle aka the dark reactions


What happens during each each of the two stages of photosynthesis?

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.
