Do reactions of photosynthesis called as 'Dark Reaction' need light? Explain.
(N/A) The term 'Dark Reaction' is a misnomer because it does not require light directly to proceed.
These reactions involve the fixation of $CO_{2}$ to form glucose through the Calvin cycle.
However,the dark reaction is indirectly dependent on the light reaction because it requires the products of the light reaction,specifically $ATP$ and $NADPH$,to drive the reduction of $CO_{2}$ into carbohydrates.
