which step in photosynthesis does not need light???
1 answer
The step in photosynthesis that does not require light is the Calvin cycle (also known as the dark reaction or light-independent reaction). This step occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts and does not directly depend on light, although it typically occurs during the day when there is light available. The Calvin cycle uses the products of the light-dependent reactions (ATP and NADPH) to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into glucose.
