Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where do the dark reactions take place?
A
thylakoid membrane
B
lumen
C
stroma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Note that the dark reaction takes place in the stroma (aqueous fluid surrounding the stacks of thylakoids) and the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dark reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -The part of chloroplast where the dark reaction of photosynthesis takes place is Stroma.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dark reactions of photosynthesis occur in the stroma (aqueous fluid surrounding the stacks of thylakoids) of the chloroplast where they utilize the products of the light reaction. In the dark reaction, plants use carbon dioxide with ATP and NADPH from the light reactions to produce glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -(i) Light reactions occur in grana thylakoids whereas dark reactions occur in stroma of chloroplasts.
