प्रश्न
Do reactions of photosynthesis called, as ‘Dark Reaction’ need light? Explain.
उत्तर
ATP and NADPH are used to drive the processes leading to the synthesis of food, more accurately, sugars. This is the biosynthetic phase or dark reaction of photosynthesis. This process does not directly depend on the presence of light but is dependent on the products of the light reaction, i.e., ATP and NADPH, besides CO2 and H2O.
