NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Once the light reactions have occurred, the light-independent or “dark” reactions take place in the chloroplast stroma.

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. The name dark reaction creates confusion as the name shows the reaction takes place in darkness but it’s not true.

Detailed explanation-3: -Division of labour within the chloroplast The light reactions of photosynthesis take place in the thylakoid membrane, whereas the dark reactions are located in the chloroplast stroma.

Detailed explanation-4: -The light independent process (also called dark reactions or the Calvin-Benson cycle) takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide is modified by series of chemical reactions to form carbohydrates. The energy for these reactions comes from ATP and NADPH generated during the light dependent process.
