Question
Which of the following are required for the dark reaction of photosynthesis? A: Light B: Chlorophyll C: CO2 D: ATP E: NADPH
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
B, C and D only
C, D and E only
D and E only
A, B and C only
the dark reaction (biosynthetic phase) does not directly depend on the presence of light but is dependent on the products of the light reaction, i.e., ATP and NADPH, besides CO2 and H2O . The light reaction (photochemical phase) involves light absorption and chlorophyll, while the dark reaction occurs in the stroma where sugars are synthesised using the energy and reducing power produced earlier .
This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Photosynthesis in Higher Plants . Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
