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.
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.
The light reactions will slow down.
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.
The dark reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, occur in the stroma of the chloroplast and do not require light energy. They involve the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions. The dark reactions use the products of the light reactions, ATP and NADPH, as sources of energy and reducing power.

The end product of the dark reactions is glucose.

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 :)
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
Both light reactions and dark reactions are crucial components of photosynthesis in plants. They occur in the chloroplasts, with light reactions taking place in the thylakoid membranes and dark reactions (Calvin cycle) occurring in the stroma. Both processes involve the conversion of energy; light reactions convert solar energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH), while dark reactions use that chemical energy to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide. Additionally, both reactions are interconnected, as the products of light reactions fuel the dark reactions.
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.
The light reactions will slow down.
Explain why plants are able to continue the dark reactions when they are not able to use the light reactions?
NADPH and ATP from the light reactions enter the Calvin cycle aka the dark reactions
