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
What else can I help you with?
What is the product of the dark reaction in photosynthesis?
The product of the dark reaction in photosynthesis is glucose.
Can photosynthesis occur in the dark?
No, photosynthesis cannot occur in the dark because it requires light as an essential component for the process to take place.
Where does photosynthesis occur, and can it take place in the dark?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. It requires light to take place, so it cannot occur in the dark.
What cycle is also called the dark reaction in photosynthesis?
The cycle that is also called the dark reaction in photosynthesis is the Calvin cycle. This process occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and involves the fixation of carbon dioxide into glucose molecules using energy from ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.
The dark reactions of photosynthesis are those that?
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.
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
What is the product of the dark reaction in photosynthesis?
The product of the dark reaction in photosynthesis is glucose.
Where does the dark reaction of the photosynthesis occur in?
It is not dark photosynthesis.It is dark reaction.It takes place in stroma.
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.
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?
Can photosynthesis occur in the dark?
No, photosynthesis cannot occur in the dark because it requires light as an essential component for the process to take place.
What thing can affect photosynthesis?
The dark...
Could you grow plants in the dark?
no,.because they could not perform photosynthesis in the dark
Where does photosynthesis occur, and can it take place in the dark?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. It requires light to take place, so it cannot occur in the dark.
Does the dark reaction in photosynthesis split water?
yes :)
Can the dark reaction in photosynthesis occur after sunset?
no not Hitler
