The term cycle is used to describe the light-independent reactions?
it is calvin cycle. we call it dark reaction too.
Why are the reactions of the calvin cycle also called the light independent reaction?
The reactions of the Calvin cycle are also called the light independent reactions because they do not require light to take place. This is contrary to the light dependent process of photosynthesis.
Does photosynthesis represent a single replacement reaction?
No, it is a double replacement reaction. Photosynthesis is not a single reaction pathway but two, one dependent on the other. Therefore, your answer is photosynthesis is a double replacement reaction. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Also, since you start AND end with two compounds, that also makes it a double replacement reaction.
What is the name of the process which uses glucose to produce energy for the plant?
The process, or cycle, that plants use to make their own glucose is called the Calvin Cycle, also referred to as the "dark cycle."
What are light dependent reactions of photosynthesis also known as?
It is the calvin cycle. It is the second step of photosynthesis.
The term cycle is used to describe the light-independent reactions?
it is calvin cycle. we call it dark reaction too.
What cycle are sugars produces in the chloroplast?
It is called calvin cycle. It is called dark reaction too
Which process of photosynthesis can occur even when theres no light?
That is the Dark cycle. Also called Calvin cycle
Photosynthesis takes how many processes?
The plant absorbs CO2 and oxygen. These molecules are used in the Calvin Cycle, which is also called the light-independent reaction. The products of the Calvin Cycle are then used in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC or Light-Dependent Reaction) to produce ATP.
What is another name for light dependent reations of photosynthesis?
The exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy (photosynthesis). The product of light dependant reactions is called endergonic reaction. It is a chemical reaction that requires energy.
Why are the reactions of the calvin cycle also called the light independent reaction?
The reactions of the Calvin cycle are also called the light independent reactions because they do not require light to take place. This is contrary to the light dependent process of photosynthesis.
Which one of the two reactions might also be called the dark reaction?
the Calvin cycle
What is the dark reaction of photosynthesis also nown as?
The light independent reaction.
What chemical reaction form polysaccharides?
Dehydration reaction because it removes the water.
Why is the light dependent reaction also called a z-scheme?
No it is wrong. we call it calvin cycle.

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.
