ICSE Class 10 Answered

Both the phases of photosynthesis take place simultaneously during the day. Then why the second phase is known as "Dark phase"? Is it the appropriate term for it?

The second phase of photosynthesis is known as dark phase because it does not require light. However, it takes places with the light reaction simultaneously. The term 'dark reaction' is not an appropriate term because it suggests that the reaction occurs in the dark or at night which is not true. It is also called 'Light independent phase'.
