Question

Name the phase in which the glucose is produced.

• A. Dark phase
• B. Light phase
• C. Light phase and Dark phase
• D. None of the Above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Dark phase

Light phase is the light dependent phase of photosynthesis in which splitting of water and conversion of light energy to chemical energy take place.
Dark phase is the light independent phase of photosynthesis in which ATP is utilised to synthesise glucose. Hence the dark phase is the only phase in which glucose is synthesised.
