Which part of photosynthesis can occur even when there is no light?

That is the dark reaction. It needs no light


Why must the light reaction occur before the dark reaction?

The light reaction produces ATP and NADPH, which are needed to fuel the dark reaction. The dark reaction (Calvin Cycle) uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reaction to fuel the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. In essence, the light reaction provides the energy source that drives the dark reaction.


True or false The light reactions of photosynthesis can occur only under light conditions and the dark reactions can occur only during the dark hours?

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.


Do the dark reactions occur in the thylakoids?

A dark reaction is done in the Calvin Cycle. Light is not needed at the time of the dark reaction but it also doesn't hinder the reaction if there is light at the time.So in short. Yes.


Why is the Dark Reaction sometimes called Light Independent Reaction?

Because the dark reactions are CO2 assimilation's and do not need light energy. They use the ATP and NADPH created from the light reactions to convert CO2 to carbohydrates, so this can happen in the "dark" as long as the light reactions already happened.


What type of chemical reaction is 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.


How are light reactions and dark reactions different and similar?

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 :)

Which reaction makes ADP light or dark?

It is the light reaction. Then they moves to dark reaction


Why is possible for Calvin cycle to occur in the dark?

The Calvin cycle is called the dark cycle because it does not require light to proceed. Unlike light reactions, the Calvin cycle is a light-independent reaction, which means it can and will occur in the dark as well as the light.


The proper name for the light independent reaction is?

The proper name for the light-independent reaction is the Calvin Cycle. It is also known as the dark reaction or the carbon fixation process because it does not directly require light to occur.


Why is light reaction of photosynthesis essential for the dark reaction to proceed?

why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
