Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms. The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water, the energy source is sunlight, and the end-products include glucose and oxygen. It is arguably the most important biochemical pathway, since nearly all life depends on it. It is a complex process occurring in higher plants, phytoplankton, algae, as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria. Photosynthetic organisms are also referred to as photoautotrophs.

What is the product of the dark reaction in photosynthesis?

The product of the dark reaction in photosynthesis is glucose.


What is another name for the dark reactions of photosynthesis?

Calvin cycle or light independent reaction


What is dark reaction process?

* the second phase of photosynthesis, that does not require the presence of light, during which ATP releases stored energy that is used to convert carbon dioxide molecules into sugars and other nutrients * The dark reactions of photosynthesis doesn't require the presence of light to photosynthesize. * The second stage of photosynthesis, not requiring light to occur, and during which energy released from ATP drives the production of organic molecules from carbon dioxide. * there are 2 main stages in potosyntesis. the light reaction occurs only in the presence of light while dark reaction happens both when there is light and when it is dark.


Does the dark reaction of photosynthesis require direct sun light energy to be proceed?

No, the dark reaction of photosynthesis (also known as the Calvin cycle) does not require direct sunlight energy to proceed. It is dependent on the products of the light reaction (ATP and NADPH) that are formed with the help of sunlight during the light-dependent reactions. These products are then used in the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.


What two types of reactions occur during photosynthesis?

The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.

What is light reaction and dark reaction?

Photosynthesis can be divided into two part: light reaction is the first stage of photosynthesis, occurring only in the presence of light, during which energy captured from light drives the production of ATP. dark reaction is the second stage of photosynthesis, not requiring light to occur, and during which energy released from ATP drives the production of organic molecules from carbon dioxide.
