Solution

Photosynthesis is the process of preparing food by absorbing carbon dioxide, nitrogen, minerals and water. It is a process in which light energy converts into chemical energy. This process takes place in the presence of light. Dark reaction of photosynthesis does not require light. Both the light and dark reactions occur in the day. As dark reaction does not require light it doesn't meant it occurs at night it only requires products of light reaction like ATP and NADPH.
