which stage of photosynthesis work in the dark
Photosynthesis: Two Stages. While the mechanisms of photosynthesis are complex, the overall reaction is as follows: carbon dioxide + sunlight + water --> glucose (sugar) + molecular oxygen (O2). This reaction takes place through several steps which occur during two stages, or phases: the light phase and the dark phase. In the light phase, energy from light, powers reactions that split water to release oxygen. In the process, high energy molecules, called ATP and a reducing agent and NADPH are formed.
