Answer:
The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.
Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:
Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.
Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).
It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.
Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.
So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.
Oxygen is an abiotic factor that is beneficial by-product of primary production.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The non living parts of an ecosystem that mainly affects the living organisms in it are called as an abiotic factor. These can include soil, temperature, water, oxygen and sunlight. The major energy source in earth is Oxygen which is abiotic factor.
It is very essential for the photosynthesis process to take place. Here, the plants converts water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. This becomes food for plants. Then these plants are eaten by animals. Thus oxygen is an important and beneficial by-product of photosynthesis. Oxygen is also very important for the survival of human beings.
