Explain why plants are able to continue the dark reactions when they are not able to use the light reactions?
different answers for different plants.
Photosynthesis is the process that plants convert solar energy into the energy stored in chemical bonds. This consists of two reactions, light dependent and light independent.
Plants make their own food using energy that comes from the sun. Plants trap energy from the sun with the help of chlorophyll. Their food is prepared during two reactions,i.e; light dependent reaction & light independent reaction which take place simultaneously.
Photosynthesis is performed in two stages:Light reactions (or light-dependent reactions): Energy from sunlight is required.Dark reactions (or light-independent reactions): No sunlight is required. However, energy formed by the light-dependent reactions is needed.
The light reactions occur in the thylakoid space, which can also be called the granum.
The dark reactions that occur in plants are dependent on the light reactions because the dark reactions need ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADPH are energy molecules that dark reactions need to do their job.

no
The light-independent reactions do not directly require light energy to occur; they can proceed in the absence of light. These reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, are responsible for the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose and other organic molecules using ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.
light-dependent reactions. such as photosynthesis in green plants.

Through photosynthesis in their choloplasts. This involves light reactions and dark reactions.
These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.
The dark reactions that occur in plants are dependent on the light reactions because the dark reactions need ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADPH are energy molecules that dark reactions need to do their job.
Light reactions in plants occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. This process involves capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to produce sugars.
The light-independent reactions occur in the storm of the chloroplast. The light- independent reactions are "independent" from light so they can happen else where. The light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast where the light is absorbed, and the reactions depend on the light.
In animals, they are generally glycolysis, the Kreb's cycle, and the electron transport chain. In plants, they are the light reactions, and the Calvin cycle. Plants also use electron transport chains in the light reactions.
