Question

Light-independent reactions occur in the stroma, or the thick fluid located between the grana, of chloroplasts. What is the main purpose of photosynthetic light-independent (dark) reactions?

Answer 1

Carbohydrate synthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

In light-independent reactions, sunlight is not used to build up carbohydrate molecules. The light-independent reaction is also called the Calvin Cycle. Light independent reactions take place in the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide diffuses from stomata into the stroma of chloroplast where fixation, reduction and regeneration takes place by using the energy of ATP and NADPH to make glucose and carbohydrate molecules.
