Photosynthesis starts out using the energy from sunlight to get things started, but it ends with the dark reactions, which don't need sunshine to complete sugar production. In the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions are used to produce sugars.

Will Olivia Benson have a baby on SVU?

No, so far Detective Benson has no children.In the SVU episode called 'Savior' (season 11, episode 14),a fearful witness runs away leaving a Detective Benson a power of attorney over her baby daughter who is sick in the hospital.

What photosynthetic reactions that can be taken out in the absence of light?

The Calvin Cycle. This is why it is sometimes called the "Light independent reaction".


Why is the Calvin cycle called a cycle?

The Calvin cycle is called such because every process produces something that the next process needs, right back to the original step. Carbon fixation produces the molecules needed for reduction, which produces the molecules needed for the regeneration of ribulose, which produces what's needed for carbon fixation.
