Answer 1

The statement "Performed whether light is present or absent, ATP is used to create glucose" describes the **second stage of photosynthesis**. This stage, known as the Calvin cycle, occurs in the chloroplasts of plants and does not require light directly; instead, it utilizes ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
