The Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, which produces PGAL by fixing carbon from carbon dioxide which eventually makes glucose, is known as the "dark reactions" of photosynthesis since it does not directly need light.

However, the Calvin cycle does require NADPH and FADH produced from the "light reactions" of photosynthesis. Therefore, technically no part of photosynthesis can occur without light.
