Solution

The correct option is C If assertion is true but reason is false.

Light reactions of photosynthesis take place in the presence of light. These involve photolysis of water and production of assimilatory power (NADPH + ATP) through PS l and PS II.
Dark reactions of photosynthesis catalyse assimilation of $C O_{2}$ to carbohydrates. Dark reactions are light independent reactions, hence can take place both in the light as well as in the dark.

Reason: Dark reaction does not occur in light.

Q. Assertion :Dark reactions are called bio synthetic phase of photosynthesis . Reason: Dark reactions do not directly depend on the presence of light but are dependent on the products of the light reactions ,i.e. ATP and NADPH.

Q. Which of the following statements correctly describes the light reactions and dark reactions taking place during photosynthesis?
(i) Light reactions occur in grana thylakoids whereas dark reactions occur in stroma of chloroplasts.
(ii) Light reactions generate ATP and

whereas dark reactions consume ATP and
