Dark phase Flashcards
1
Q
Where does the dark phase take place?
A
In the Stroma
2
Q
Does it require light ?
A
No, light independent
3
Q
How is it independent of light?
A
if sufficient ATP and other molecules synthesis during the light phase are present. —> (Independent of light)
4
Q
What is the name of the cycle that dark phase reactions that take place
A
Calvin cycle
5
Q
What happens to ATP and H atoms from light phase ?
A
They combine with CO2 to form Glucose. excess glucose will be stored as starch
6
Q
what happens to the excess glucose
A
It is converted and stored as starch
7
Q
What does the Calvin cycle consist of
A
CO2 from atmos
ATP from light phase
H atoms (energy) NADPH PEPEGA
OUTPUT : Glucose (stored as starch)
