Question

if Green plants convert carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of sunlight then why this process is called dark reaction.


​

Answer 1

Answer:

In plants, the so-called "light" reactions occur within the chloroplast thylakoids, where the aforementioned chlorophyll pigments reside. ... The dark reactions then occur outside the thylakoid. In these reactions, the energy from ATP and NADPH is used to fix carbon dioxide (CO2).
