Photosynthesis happens in two main stages, called the light-dependent stage and the light-independent stage. The light-independent stage is sometimes called the 'dark' stage.
The light-dependent stage can only happen in the light. During this stage light is absorbed and turned into chemical energy (ATP). Oxygen is also produced.
The light-independent stage can happen in the light or the dark ie it is independent of light! However, it needs substances made in the light-dependent stage so it cannot happen completely by itself.
In the light-independent stage the energy trapped as ATP in the light-dependent stage is used to change carbon dioxide into sugar (glucose).
The Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate.
CO2 --------> (CH2O)
This process requires an energy source and a hydrogen source, as well as carbon dioxide.
The energy source is ATP. The hydrogen source is NADPH. Both of these substances are produced by the light-dependent reactions.

The second stage of photosynthesis is the Calvin Cycle which is also known as light-independent reaction or dark reaction. ADP and NADP+ is the result of the dark reaction.
It makes glucose and other carbs from CO2 and ATP and NADPH from the light dependent reactions.
water combines with glucose to store energy
They Evaporation
It is not dark photosynthesis.It is dark reaction.It takes place in stroma.
It is obtained from air. Oxygen is not is not produced in dark reaction but in light reaction
during the dark phase assembly of gluscose takes place during the light phase molecular martial arts takes place
yes :)
yes,there are two reactions the light dependent and the light independent.pen the light independent is the reaction where the photosynthesis happen nighttime.
why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
light reaction and dark reaction
Yes, photosynthesis is a reaction typical for plants.
It is not dark photosynthesis.It is dark reaction.It takes place in stroma.
The light independent reaction.
It is obtained from air. Oxygen is not is not produced in dark reaction but in light reaction
The dark reaction as it pertains to photosynthesis occurs when the plant, in the absence of sunlight, continue to supply energy. The dark side of photosynthesis relies upon the stored starches to fuel the energy cycles.
during the dark phase assembly of gluscose takes place during the light phase molecular martial arts takes place
no not Hitler
i dont no the answer
yes :)
There are two major steps.They are light reaction and dark reaction.
