The second part of
photosynthesis does not depend on light and therefore is known as the
Light Independent Reaction (Sometimes called the dark reaction but that is not an accurate term because it does happen when light is available, it just does not depend on the energy from the sun) .
During this stage Carbon
from Carbon Dioxide is added to an organic molecule found in the chloroplast to produce
Glucose. The enzyme that
catalyzes this reaction is called Rubisco
After this, I had you finish up the directed reading, active reading, and "quiz" questions from the book. We will move into cellular respiration tomorrow.
