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: -Stroma is the spot where the light-independent reaction occurs. The light-independent reaction is also recognized as the Calvin-Benson cycle, Calvin Cycle, and dark reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike the light reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma (the inner space of chloroplasts). This illustration shows that ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle to make sugar.
