Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The dark reactions of photosynthesis
A
require ATP and NADPH.
B
are light-independent.
C
generate sugars.
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dark reaction is also called carbon-fixing reaction. It is a light-independent process in which sugar molecules are formed from the carbon dioxide and water molecules. The dark reaction occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast, where they utilize the products of the light reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dark reactions are also known as the Calvin Cycle, the Calvin-Benson cycle, and light-independent reactions. The point is that they do not require sunlight to complete their process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dark reaction occurs outside of the thylakoids. In this reaction, the energy from ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon dioxide (CO2). The products of this reaction are sugar molecules and other organic molecules necessary for cell function and metabolism.
