No, the dark reactions of photosynthesis (Calvin Cycle) do not directly produce oxygen or ATP. Instead, they use ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
They produce oxygen gas during the light reactions.
The light reactions of photosynthesis produce energy-rich compounds like ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules carry and provide energy for the subsequent dark reactions of photosynthesis.
The product of the light reactions of photosynthesis is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules provide the energy necessary for the Calvin cycle (dark reactions) to produce glucose.
The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts. This is where carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle occur, utilizing the products of the light-dependent reactions to produce glucose.

They produce oxygen gas during the light reactions.
The light reactions in photosynthesis capture sunlight to produce energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the dark reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. In other words, the light reactions provide the energy needed for the dark reactions to occur and produce sugar.
Anoxygenic photosynthesis is a type of photosynthesis that does not produce oxygen. This process is primarily carried out by certain bacteria, such as green sulfur bacteria and purple bacteria, which do not use water as an electron donor and therefore do not release oxygen as a byproduct. Instead, they use alternative electron donors in their photosynthetic reactions.
They produce oxygen gas during the light reactions.

The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
Many of the chemical reactions in photosynthesis are redox reactions, involving both reduction and oxidation processes. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is reduced to sugars, while water is oxidized to produce oxygen.
All chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass, and the many reactions that make up photosynthesis are not exceptions. Photosynthesis takes carbon from the air and water from the soil to produce sugars and oxygen.
The primary function of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are used in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to produce glucose. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and involve the splitting of water molecules to release oxygen as a byproduct.
