Photosynthesis happens in two main stages, called the light-dependent stage and the light-independent stage. The light-independent stage is sometimes called the 'dark' stage. The light-dependent stage can only happen in the light. During this stage light is absorbed and turned into chemical energy (ATP). Oxygen is also produced. The light-independent stage can happen in the light or the dark ie it is independent of light! However, it needs substances made in the light-dependent stage so it cannot happen completely by itself. In the light-independent stage the energy trapped as ATP in the light-dependent stage is used to change carbon dioxide into sugar (glucose). There are more details to this process which I have covered in another answer: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_connects_the_light_dependent_reaction_to_the_light_independent_reaction See also: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/photosynth/calvin1.html

The dark reactions of photosynthesis are those that?
Only occur in the dark.
What are the is activity of plant cells in the dark and in the sunlight?
transpiration in the dark and photosynthesis in sunlight.
What cycle is also called the dark reaction in photosynthesis?
The Calvin cycle, or carbon fixation, occurs during the dark reactions of photosynthesis.
What are the 3 major steps of photosynthesis?
The whole process of photosynthesis is not divided into 3, but into 2 steps - light and dark reactions.The dark reactions are also known as the dark phase of photosynthesis and this dark phase is divided into 3 steps.Actually the dark phase is the Calvin cycle which is composed of these 3 major steps: 1. Carbon (or Carbon Dioxide - CO2) fixation 2. Reduction 3. Regeneration (of Ribulose)
What are the reactants of dark reactions of photosynthesis?
Carbon, ATP and NADPH
What are the two faces of photosynthesis?
light face and dark face.Actually it is phase not face. They are light reaction and dark reatcion
What is a four letter word in the phase photosynthesis?
dark - dark phase photosynthesis, photosynthesis dark phase
The dark reactions of photosynthesis are those that?
Only occur in the dark.
What thing can affect photosynthesis?
The dark...
Where does the dark reaction of the photosynthesis occur in?
It is not dark photosynthesis.It is dark reaction.It takes place in stroma.
Why is light reaction of photosynthesis essential for the dark reaction to proceed?
why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
What is the concept of the dark reaction as it relates to photosynthesis?
The dark reaction as it pertains to photosynthesis occurs when the plant, in the absence of sunlight, continue to supply energy. The dark side of photosynthesis relies upon the stored starches to fuel the energy cycles.
Does photosynthesis have to happen in the dark?
Plants need photons in order to photosynthesize. There are photons which we cannot see, such as UV rays, but most plant energy comes from light which we can see. Also, remember that different plants absorb different kinds of light.
Could you grow plants in the dark?
no,.because they could not perform photosynthesis in the dark
What are the is activity of plant cells in the dark and in the sunlight?
transpiration in the dark and photosynthesis in sunlight.
Can the dark reaction in photosynthesis occur after sunset?
no not Hitler
What are the comparison of light and dark reaction of photosynthesis?
i dont no the answer
