No, dark reactions occurs in day light & as well as in night. It cant be called as dark reaction, its a Calvin cycle.
The light reactions of photosynthesis require oxygen as a raw material to produce ATP and NADPH. The dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis do not directly require oxygen as a raw material, but they use the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions. Both light and dark reactions are involved in photosynthesis, but only the light reactions require oxygen as a raw material.
Photolysis occurs in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These reactions include the light absorption by chlorophyll, splitting of water into oxygen and protons, and the generation of ATP and NADPH.
There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
Molecular oxygen is formed in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. This occurs in the electron transport chain in the protein complexes of the thylakoid membrane. The water splitting complex yields oxygen, hydrogen ions and electrons.
it occurs in the chloroplast / stroma oh and light reactions can only occur in a plant and some protists because only plants and some protists can perform photosynthesis, and it is in this process which light reactions occur. other cells don't have chloroplast and stromas.
The so-called "dark reactions" are those that occur independently of the absorption of sunlight, but only when the "light reactions" are providing the molecules required. This only occurs when there is sunlight available.
Only when there is the presence of oxygen.

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.
Differences: >light reactions occur in the thykaloid membranes, but dark occur in stroma >light reactions are light dependent, or they need light to take place, whereas dark reactions don't > dark reactions use the products of the light reactions >light reactions are the first step of photosynthesis and dark reactions are the second step Similarities: >both in photosynthesis Thats really the only similarity!!! hope this helps :)
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.

Most types of photosynthesis (C3 & C4) occur only during the day, however plants that use CAM photosynthesis open their stomata during the night to take in the gases essential for photosynthesis withoug losing the water in the cells. They then use the CO2 to produce glucose throughout the day.
False. The light reactions of photosynthesis require light to convert solar energy into chemical energy, while the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) do not directly rely on light and can occur in both light and dark conditions. However, the dark reactions are indirectly dependent on the products of the light reactions.
