The C3 of the three carbon cycle is known as the the light independent phase of photosynthesis as the rate of photosynthesis is independent on the amount of light.

Explanation:

  • this type of face is seen in the C3 plants where the carbon dioxide is fixed into phosphoglyceric acid or PGA.
  • light independent phase is a misnomer as this phase do not occur in the dark or in the absence of Sunlight but sunlight is not the rate determining step in this reaction.
  • in this phase there is conversion of carbon dioxide into a three carbon compound known as phosphoglyceric acid. So this phase is known as C3 phase
