Question

Plants produce 1mol of glucose after 2 dark phases.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Dark reaction:

1. The process of photosynthesis is divided into two phases: light reaction and dark reaction.
2. Dark reaction is a process that takes place in the absence of light and within the stroma of the chloroplast.
3. During the dark reaction, 6 molecules of atmospheric carbon dioxide are absorbed by the plants and converted into one molecule of glucose in the Calvin-Benson cycle.
4. The energy molecules such as ATP and NADPH₂ produced during the light reaction are used to initiate the reaction.
5. Therefore, only one cycle of dark reaction is required to synthesize one molecule of glucose.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
