  • Dark Reactions in Photosynthesis: Reactants & Role
    The reactants of the dark reactions of photosynthesis are:

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

    * 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, carrying high-energy electrons produced during the light-dependent reactions.

    These reactants are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, the primary product of photosynthesis.
