  • Dark Reaction of Photosynthesis: Raw Materials & Process
    The raw materials needed during the dark reaction of photosynthesis are:

    * Carbon dioxide (CO2): This is the primary source of carbon for the plant.

    * ATP (adenosine triphosphate): This is the energy currency of the cell, produced during the light-dependent reactions.

    * NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate): This is a reducing agent, also produced during the light-dependent reactions.

    These raw materials are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a sugar that the plant can use for energy and growth.
